Abstract

Background: As a result of production and manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines, mass vaccination and immunization will become critical part in controlling covid-19 spreading. The present vaccination facilities and strategies are not optimized for the most effective clinical and infection control methods.

Aim: Highlight the current vaccination approaches and to suggest some proposals to enhance the quality and increase the capacity of vaccination system. 

Method: The current immunization procedures situation were addressed and proposals of some additional approaches for improving the process and to maintain infection control procedures to the best practices.

Conclusion: To acquire immunity in a short amount of time, vulnerable persons should be mass vaccinated. This will bring the COVID-19 epidemic under control, reducing the load on health-care institutions and the requirement for hospitalization dramatically. The suggested changes to the present vaccination system, as well as prior experiences, will assist in providing immunization services while protecting people's safety.
