Vietnam used specialized transforming trucks to distribute Covid-19 vaccines<\/h2>\n
\n

To curb the heavy Covid-19 outbreak in the country, Vietnam is rolling out vaccination programs in several major cities.<\/p>\n

To help make the vaccines more accessible to citizens, authorities have employed trucks specifically designed<\/strong> for the purpose. Equipped with extendable floors and roofs, these vehicles serve as mobile medical centers that can go straight to people\u2019s doorsteps.<\/p>\n

Check out some of the pictures below.<\/p>\n

The trucks come with a freezer for the vaccines and extendable floors<\/h3>\n

At first glance, these mobile vaccination centers, courtesy of Truong Hai Auto Corporation (THACO) \u2013 one of Vietnam\u2019s leading car manufacturers, look just like regular trucks, each with a big trailer in the back.<\/p>\n

Once deployed, however, the sides of the trunk can be opened upward, forming a roof. Moreover, there are extendable panels to provide shade on sunny days, and lights for night use.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the floor can also be expanded into a much bigger space than what first meets the eye. This provides ample room for tables and chairs to be set up, where medical staff will work with vaccine recipients.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, the vaccines are stored inside a built-in freezer, ensuring their quality.<\/p>\n

The vehicles have been implemented in many cities<\/h3>\n

In total, 63 of these vaccine trucks have been produced and given to all 63 Vietnamese cities and provinces. Many have already been put into use.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Thanh Ni\u00ean<\/a> reported the truck in action in C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1 Province. \u00a0From the pictures, it appears that bringing vaccines to people\u2019s doorsteps helps reduce large crowds significantly.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, preventive measures are still observed, as vaccine takers are seen waiting for their turn on plastic stools, maintaining a safe distance from one another.<\/p>\n

Get vaccinated to protect yourself<\/h3>\n

The specialized trucks are a practical initiative that can hopefully help shorten the time people need to wait before getting their shots.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we will see a large portion of the population fully vaccinated soon, and the pandemic snuffed out.<\/p>\n
