Which other countries are planning to carry out COVID-19 vaccination
- In the US, under a federal government plan, several retail pharmacies have reportedly agreed to serve as COVID-19 vaccination centres. The pharmacies will be provided vaccines by the federal government free of charge to help facilitate the public’s access to vaccines.
- In the UK, COVID-19 vaccines would be administered at clinics, care homes, town halls, sports halls, and conference buildings. 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.
- Germany has asked the states to submit the details of 60 facilities that could serve as delivery centres for vaccine manufacturers. 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.
