Good morning ladies,
Just a question regarding the validity of this expectation.

People coming for the vaccination are screened on entry and can’t get the vaccine if they have any s/s of illness.
Just for perspective – hospital waiting rooms and doctor clinics do not clean the chair between every person who sits on it and they are potentially there because they are ill.
What is the rationale for this in the vaccination clinics?

Hello Jennifer,
We have volunteers to assist the community members to clean their chair after use with a disinfectant wipe at our vaccination centre. We have around 400-500 people through each day.

Hope that helps,
Jen

Good Morning,

We have been asked to benchmark other Covid Screening clinics to see if they clean the chairs between each patient.

We have not routinely been doing this primarily due to the large volume of patients being seen however the clinic does receive a deep clean every evening.

Many thanks
