TOPSHOT - In this photograph taken on February 15, 2021, Berfo Arsakay (C), 101 years old, prepares to receive a vaccine from doctor Akay Kaya (L) and nurse Yildiz Ayten (R) from the Bahcesaray public hospital vaccination team, at the village of Guneyyamac in eastern Turkey, as part of an expedition to vaccinate residents of 65 years old or above with Sinovac's CoronaVac Covid-19 vaccine. Turkey's population of more than 83 million is spread out across Europe and Asia and covers some seemingly impregnable terrain. The vaccination effort with China's CoronaVac jab kicked off with a bang in mid-January when Turkey innoculated more than a one million people in the first week. But it slowed down considerably when doctors left the big cities and tried to reach mountain places such as Imamli and Ozbeyli -- two ethnically Kurdish hamlets of a few hundred herders and farmers each. / AFP / BULENT KILIC
