With Malaysia’s Covid-19 vaccination scheme due to start in March, Matt and Maya look at some of difficulties that other countries have faced in their efforts to vaccinate the homeless. We speak to Aishwariya Krishna Kumar from Think’s City’s social resilience team about Think City’s programmes for people experiencing homelessness, its homelessness Registry Week Report and its involvement in NGOhub’s Homeless Services Registry.
