Recently, developed vaccination vehicles were repurposed and deployed for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in China. We described the vehicles and reported an evaluation of vaccination throughput of these vehicles for COVID-19 vaccination in China.
We obtained daily reports of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in vehicles in Hubei Province between March 16 and 29 of 2021. We determined the rate of COVID-19 vaccines given and evaluated the applicability of vaccination vehicles for COVID-19 vaccination.
Vehicles with 2 vaccination stations are suitable for several real-world scenarios. Vehicles administered an average of 72 COVID-19 vaccine doses per hour, with an upper limit of 145 doses per hour.
Vaccination vehicles can save human and financial resources and provide high quality, effective, convenient, and rapid on-site vaccination services; they can increase the pace of COVID-19 vaccination.

FIGURE 2. Design and layout of the vaccination vehicles.
Note: The vehicles have an air filtration unit and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp to keep the air clean. A display screen shows the vehicle’s operating condition in real time. When an individual’s turn for vaccination arrives, they enter one door, are registered and vaccinated, and they exit through the second door. In case of an adverse reaction, treatments can be provided in the vehicle while waiting for an ambulance.
