Can shipping containers end up being vaccination units?
A vaccine has not yet been discovered for the coronavirus, however the UK is currently getting ready for a post-vaccine scenario. Specialists at Waugh Thistleton Architects, understood for its sustainable tasks and developments with timber, have developed mobile vaccination centres crafted from shipping containers. In late May, after weeks of discussions, arguments and drawings, the company revealed the proposal to fit out 6,500 shipping containers as mobile units.
Currently under conversation with the UK federal government, the business has actually stated that in about 12 weeks, these containers can be mobilised throughout the country, stationed in car parks and other public locations. The National Health Service (NHS) staff will then work in shifts to vaccinate the entire population of the UK. The units can enter into the heart of towns and remote communities, or be established in clusters in towns and cities.
