Sažetak

In the Republic of Croatia during the COVID-19 pandemic, Virovitica-Podravina County had implemented two innovative models of vaccination, drive-through vaccination clinic and COVID bus vaccination. Drivethrough vaccination clinic was imagined as a model through which citizens could get vaccinated in the most efficient and fastest way in which they could stay in their cars and social distance that way. COVID bus vaccination was imagined firstly for the older population and citizens of rural areas of the county in the form of adapted and equipped buses which would bring vaccines and vaccination to their “doorstep”. In the drivethrough vaccination clinic citizens were vaccinated by teams from the Institute of Public Health St. Rok Virovitica-Podravina County, by teams from Health Center Virovitica-Podravina County and by private practice teams. Along with every vaccination team there was an ambulance team in case of unwanted reactions after vaccination. COVID bus vaccinations were carried out by two teams from Institute of Public Health St. Rok Virovitica-Podravina County, in two buses, accompanied by Ambulance teams. During drive-through vaccinations, 3.8% of citizens out of the total number of the county citizens were vaccinated and 22.3% of citizens out of the total number of vaccinated people from Virovitica-Podravina County were vaccinated. During COVID bus vaccinations, 2.5% of citizens out of the total number of county citizens were vaccinated and 7.5% of citizens out of total number of vaccinated people from Virovitica-Podravina County were vaccinated. Innovative models of vaccination mentioned above were shown to be efficent, fast and safe in the vaccination of citizens. From obtained results, it is shown that models like this could be implemented in other campaign immunizations like the ones against influenza, pneumococcal disease and tick-borne encephalitis.
