TORONTO - Mass immunization clinics in which vaccinators and volunteers move around a circular set-up of chairs - with clients staying seated - was by far the most efficient model in an Ontario government study comparing different sites.
The hockey hub model sees the client sit in one chair and have staff and volunteers come by to complete registration, medical screening, vaccination and observation time all in the same place. The circular hockey hub clinic was run by the Scarborough Health Network, and Dr. Amir JanMohamed, a cardiologist who helped design the model, said if they had to run a mass vaccination clinic again, he would definitely use it again.“But if we are going to do things, then it behooves us - and this is a motto or modus operandi we have in Scarborough - is to innovate and be efficient and be responsible users of our resources.
“The best measure is a head-to-head comparison where there is no other changes except for the way around.”
