NEW DELHI -- India has started delivering COVID-19 vaccines to tough and hard-to-reach places using locally made drones, a move that could help it achieve its ambitious target of full inoculation for its entire adult population of over 940 million by the end of December.
India Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya earlier this month launched the state-run Indian Council of Medical Research's drone response -- the first such initiative in South Asia -- and an outreach program called iDrone in the country's remote northeast.
