NHS and Metrobus launched one of the UK’s first Covid-19 Mobile Vaccination Units in a bus yesterday in Crawley, targetting hard-to-reach and vulnerable communities.Metrobus and the Alliance for Better Care (ABC), which represents GPs across Crawley, Horsham, mid-Sussex and East Surrey, teamed up to provide a self-contained, clean and safe location for vaccinations to take place.The bus was adapted by Metrobus’ engineers, by removing some handrails and seats to create more room for medical staff and their equipment.
The inbuilt one-way system and dual doors of the bus are perfect for a one in, one out approach.Appointments for the mobile unit are by invitation only and are booked by ABC’s GP practices so the public has to wait to be.
