The National Health Service (NHS) in England has asked its 1,250 primary care networks to designate a single practice to administer vaccines. The vaccines would be administered at these clinics in 12-hour shifts, from 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week.

The country has also asked the states to identify central vaccination centres. The centres will be augmented by mobile teams who will go into care homes. Trade fair halls and airport terminals are some of the other facilities that will be potentially used as mass vaccination centres in Germany.
