Staff schedule is also important to ensure adequate staffing at all times. There should be a
contingency plan if there are any unexpected changes. The Person in Charge of each agency
needs to be responsible for the line listing (list of vaccine recipients) given, and they need to
be briefed to ensure the program will run smoothly. This is the example that we have made
for the floor plan in the hall (Figure 1).

The Figure 2 depicts the flowchart we made for the mass vaccination. There are seven
stations altogether. First station would be the triage counter, followed by the verification
station of line listing (list of vaccine recipients for the day). If necessary, the vaccine
recipients will go to the blood pressure (BP) counter. We selected those with hypertension
and history of allergy to go to BP check-up counter. Next, they will go to the registration and
get their vaccine administered. Once they have been verified through MyVAS system, a
vaccine card will be given. They would be observed for a duration of 15 to 30 minutes,
before they were allowed to leave the vaccine centre.
