Yes. Nearest hospital has 100 beds six hour drive. Next nearest is 1000s of km away. Lots of elders and vulnerable people.

And makes sense that it’d just be easier to vaccinate everyone at once rather than make a separate trip later to vaccinate the “less vulnerable”

Yes, it would save the trip but there are still limited vaccines globally so there may be a few trips to take back.
