Month-old baby on the Pacific island of Vanuatu becomes first person to get drone-delivered vaccination.
A one-month old baby in the Pacific island of Vanuatu became the first person in history to be given a vaccine delivered commercially by drone on Tuesday.
The drone travelled almost 25 miles to deliver medical equipment to the remote area of Cook's Bay, which is usually only accessible by foot or locally operated boats. Thirteen children and five pregnant women were vaccinated in the area that lacks basic healthcare system.

Talk about living in the boonies. The TV show Survivor did a season on that island some years ago & it looked pretty primordial. You'd expect to see King Kong come out of the jungle at any point.
