In the UK, the familiar taxi in London has been well received to help people who are physically handicapped or sick and refrain from going out to be vaccinated safely.

In the UK, more than 20 million people have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus so far, but those who have not been vaccinated because they are physically handicapped or have to refrain from going out due to illness. There is also.



For these people, local doctors and others are playing a central role in promoting an initiative called "vaccine taxi" with the cooperation of the familiar taxi "Black Cab" in London.

A "vaccine taxi" that transfers between your home and the vaccination site is free of charge, and you can get vaccinated in the car while riding to reduce contact with people.



A man who had avoided going out because of his underlying illness said, "I stayed home all the time to prevent infection. I'm really relieved to be able to get the vaccination safely using a taxi."



The taxi fare is paid from the funds collected by crowdfunding, which also helps the taxi industry, where the number of passengers is decreasing due to restrictions on going out.



Sharon Raymond, a doctor who is working on the project, said, "Some people do not have a car, so many people say that such a taxi initiative will help. We would like to expand similar projects nationwide."
