TO continue further on the subject of architecture and planning for Covid-19 and vaccination centers that I tackled in last week’s article, we have been carrying out more research and continue to receive helpful feedback. We gratefully appreciate this, and Palafox Associates and Palafox Architecture Group will be incorporating their observations into the planning and design of vaccination centers, vaccination courts and drive-through vaccination sites. In addition, there have been many recommendations for assigning more medical personnel to vaccination sites to avoid long waiting times and overcrowding. According to infectious disease specialists, vaccination centers should not be enclosed and are better without air-conditioning. Many vaccination centers now are in donated enclosed tents with no natural ventilation and with the names of donors.
