Organisation and management of a Covid-19 vaccination centr as part of the management of health facility - a case study

Introduction/background: The impact of the pandemic on the management of medical facilities was, and still is, enormous - facilities had to change their thinking and approach to the treatment of patients, as not only did they have to treat patients, but also to protect them and medical staff from falling ill - as quickly as possible. One such measure was the organisation of vaccination centres. Aim of the paper: The main aim of the paper is to show the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of treatment facilities and to present the process of organising a vaccination point as part of the management in a selected treatment facility. Materials and methods: Analysis of legal acts, analysis of internal materials, interview. Results and conclusions: Compliance with the minimum requirements always influences the level of public confidence in vaccination, and the responsibility for carrying out vaccinations, reporting the adverse event following immunization - AEFI), i.e. the broadly understood safety of vaccinations, etc. always remains with those carrying out the vaccinations. Unfortunately, organizational problems were not avoided at the initial stage of starting the vaccination campaign. The problem concerned the delegation from individual wards of a physician designated to qualify patients presenting themselves for vaccination. However, taking appropriate actions on the part of Hospital Management and signing civil-law agreements with personnel vaccinating at weekends removed the personnel problem in this respect.
