Covid-19 Vaccination Programme – Planning to vaccinate the population
With the positive news today that a viable vaccine for COVID-19 is close to being approved, people around the world are starting to hope that life can soon return to normal. The validation that the vaccine is effective however does not mean that the UK wide restrictions in place can suddenly be lifted.
Thoughts of NHS health care professionals and planners now turn to how to deliver a national vaccine campaign on a scale never attempted before. The organisational and logistical challenges to manage and administer a mass UK vaccination programme are huge. Existing health care facilities cannot simply be turned over to process the number of people a day needed to be vaccinated without impacting their ability to deliver routine medical services. Instead health care planners are being imaginative in how they plan to roll out a COVID-19 national vaccination strategy. One of the leading ideas is to create Nightingale Vaccination Centres.
How to create Vaccination Nightingale Centres
While priority is rightly being given to health care workers and care givers already within a medical setting, consideration needs to be given to how to administer such a mass vaccination programme for the rest of the UK. Using arenas, sports centres and town halls these large spaces, often in the centre of urban conurbations, are ideal locations to be used. Turning them into effective medical reception and processing centres though is a challenge in itself. HiRequirements has extensive experience in this area having worked with companies and health trusts throughout the UK to use our partition screen hire services to transform large spaces. Be it creating temporary ward space for hospitals at times of peak capacity in a University sports hall in Hull or converting London’s Olympic Copper Box Arena to a site for the Olympic Boxing qualifiers, we work across the UK to help transform large spaces.
