Mass vaccination training was held at Fujita Medical University in Aichi Prefecture before vaccination of the new coronavirus for medical professionals began in the middle of next month.
About 100 staff members participated in the training held at the gymnasium of Fujita Medical University in Toyoake City, and it was assumed that 25 people would be vaccinated every 30 minutes.
At the venue, after checking the questionnaire and seeing a doctor, we divided into four booths to inoculate the vaccine and confirmed the flow up to the 15-minute follow-up after the inoculation.
In addition, doctors were trained to transport them to the hospital by doctor car in case the vaccinated person had a severe allergic reaction called "anaphylaxis".
In the training, issues related to staffing and operation became clear, such as crowds of people at the reception desk and staff shortages due to dealing with people who had side reactions.
According to the university, Aichi Prefecture has informed us that the vaccine is expected to arrive in the middle of next month, so we will prepare to start vaccination to doctors and nurses as soon as the vaccine arrives. I will.
Mitsunaga Iwata, Deputy Director of Fujita Medical University Hospital, said, "When I tried to get vaccinated with the minimum number of staff, I learned from training that there was not enough manpower when something happened. I finally got infected in Aichi Prefecture. I want to prepare and inoculate the vaccine now so that the next wave will be smaller. "
