Drone delivery service Zipline announced a partnership with "a leading manufacturer of Covid-19 vaccines" to start dispatching doses to its global partner sites as soon as April.

Zipline also said its aerial drones will be able to deliver additional supplies to remote regions that lack easy access to needed healthcare services.
