Demonstration of a COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Simulation and Use in Other Settings
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a mass vaccination campaign that left health systems with little time to prepare. As a large health system, we were asked to deploy 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines in less than 26 days. We developed a vaccination clinic simulation to be able to accurately model patients coming in and out of our physical vaccination clinic. Rather than a model used once and shelved afterwards, we used it to run our largest clinic but also relied on it to deploy several smaller clinics at various sites thanks to the simulation’s flexibility. In this session, we will demonstrate our simulation through two real-world scenarios and discuss how it can be used to quickly deploy COVID and non-COVID vaccination clinics of all sizes.
