The aims of the study are to determine best practices from two large-scale, academic medical centers' employee coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination clinics and to apply them to create scalable modules for rapid administration of 10,000 vaccinations.
The weekly number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered was captured. Processes were compared to determine best practices, which informed the scalable financial model.
Within the first 3 months, more than 60,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered, and 70% of employees were fully vaccinated in 4 months with more than 95% by the vaccine mandate deadline. The estimated cost of delivering one dose was $29.95 ($299,505/10,000) compared with $35-$39 per dose when delivered by an on-site retail pharmacy.
Successful, safe, and rapid delivery of more than 60,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses in 3 months is practical and scalable. Learnings go beyond COVID-19 and can be applied to future outbreaks/pandemics.
本研究旨在从两个大型学术医学中心的员工 2019 年冠状病毒(COVID-19)疫苗接种诊所中确定最佳实践,并将其应用于创建可快速接种 10000 剂疫苗的可扩展模块。
每周接种的 COVID-19 疫苗剂量都被记录下来。对流程进行比较,以确定最佳实践,为可扩展的财务模型提供信息。
在最初的 3 个月内,接种了超过 60000 剂 COVID-19 疫苗,4 个月内 70%的员工完全接种了疫苗,超过 95%的员工在疫苗授权截止日期前完成了接种。与通过现场零售药店接种每剂 35-39 美元相比,每剂的估计成本为 29.95 美元(299505 美元/10000 剂)。
在 3 个月内成功、安全、快速地接种了超过 60000 剂 COVID-19 疫苗是切实可行和可扩展的。经验教训不仅限于 COVID-19,还可以应用于未来的疫情/大流行。
