Temporary and mobile stations for vaccination deliver vaccines to the door
In order to provide residents and white-collar workers with comfortable and convenient vaccination service near their homes, sub-districts in Hongkou have set up temporary vaccination stations in the citizen service stations, parks, office buildings, schools and others. With the improving conditions, many temporary stations were fixed as permanent vaccination stations. In addition to the permanent vaccination stations in medical institutions, some business buildings and parks, Hongkou District delivered vaccines to enterprises, construction sites, campuses and office buildings by the COVID-19 vaccination vehicles, in bid to promote the vaccination more quickly, orderly and flexibly.
In May, Ouyang Road Sub-district opened a temporary COVID-19 vaccination station at Tourist Service Center in Luxun Park, providing a fast passage for citizens and tourists with vaccination needs. This is the first mobile vaccination station in the Sub-district. No advance appointment is required. Citizens and tourists can register by scanning the code on site by mobile phones, and fill in the informed consent form for vaccination. The whole process is easy.

On April 17, the first vaccination vehicle entered the site on Dongyuhang Road, and vaccinated workers of the nearby No. 78 and No. 89 block projects. On the premise of "no production halt", the vaccination work of workers in batches in time periods at the construction sites has been effectively completed. According to Gong Xiangzhen, the head of vaccination stations of Shanghai Public Health School, there are four vaccination booths and storage refrigerators in a vaccination vehicle, which can carry about 1,000 vaccines each time and can guarantee the vaccine supply on the vaccination vehicle for one day.

The vaccination at night provided for convenience of the public
With the citizens' increasing enthusiasm for vaccination, in order to meet the needs of different people for staggering vaccination, multiple vaccination stations in Hongkou District have successively entered the "day plus night" mode, and added the night service for vaccination stations. In addition, to provide convenient, safe and quick vaccination services to the public, the vaccination teams are deployed in the sub-districts of Hongkou District. Besides the permanent vaccination stations, flexible "mobile vaccination teams" are orchestrated to set up temporary vaccination stations in the residential area, which are available day and night on working days and weekends to provide vaccination service to the residents' door.

These two days, a temporary vaccination station was set up in the community at night. Lu Xinyu told that some working people went out early and came back late, and some old and weak people could not go outside alone.

Or, you can come here again after having some food", said Chen Yanping, who comes from the Development Office of the North Bund Sub-district and works at the Registration Office of Vaccination Station of Mongolia Plaza.

Ouyang Road Sub-district Community Health Service Center deliberately arranged a retired doctor volunteer in the waiting area on the second floor to answer questions for the elderly. Because some old people's mobile phones are not accessed to Internet, the staffs provide their own Wi-Fi signals to help them scan codes. For the elderly people without mobile phones, volunteers will assistant them in getting the paper version of personal information by checking medical insurance cards or ID cards on the terminal machine of Health Cloud APP.
