From the [URL="http://But Samoa's Ministry of Health found last month that the deaths were caused not by the vaccines themselves but by human error. Drones deliver vaccines Not long ago that might have sounded like a mad fantasy, but after you've stood on a speck of an island and watched a drone lift into the sky and scream out of sight, it just sounds like the near future, writes foreign affairs reporter Stephen Dziedzic in Vanuatu.
