In the long effort to bring a pandemic to heel, cities have learned that medicine alone is not enough — the path to a vaccination site must also be made walkable, rideable, possible. Lima, in the early hours of its third mass vaccination event, placed buses outside its busiest clinics so that the act of getting vaccinated would not end with a person stranded in the night. It is a small logistical gesture that carries a larger meaning: that public health is also a question of public will, and public will must be met with public infrastructure.
