The first mass vaccination center for vaccination with the Covid-19 vaccine has been completed in Germany. The center was built by Losberger De Boer , who made use of Belgian and Dutch specialists. In the coming weeks, the company will install several temporary vaccination centers in Germany. The Dutch-German company, with a branch in Bree, indicates that it has the blueprint ready for a rollout in Belgium.


In order to prevent the large-scale vaccination campaign from causing too much fuss among the regular health authorities, the German municipality of Recklinghausen commissioned Losberger De Boer, located in Bree and Fürfeld, to design and install a mass vaccination center. Within days, the company built a 1,900 m2 center, where 2,000 people a day can be vaccinated. The building will soon be in use for six to twelve months and is one of the largest vaccination locations in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.


Vaccinate in disinfected air

The vaccination center is designed to safely vaccinate a large flow of people. It is equipped with a newly designed and innovative hygiene concept, which disinfects the air when the structure is not in use. This provides a completely sterile space. The system also provides better ventilation. The layout is geared towards a rapid flow and sufficient distance between visitors and visitors and medical professionals. In combination with the hygiene system, this ensures an extremely low risk of contamination.


Safe workplace for healthcare workers

The large-scale vaccination facility was designed by German engineers at Losberger De Boer and built by a project team reinforced with Belgian specialists. The company indicates that it has a blueprint with which vaccination centers can also be built and set up in Belgium in the short term. “The plans are ready,” says Tim Smedts, Managing Director of Losberger De Boer in Belgium. “This vaccination center is designed to be able to safely vaccinate more people for a longer period of time than at regular vaccination locations. The design also takes into account a good, safe workplace for the healthcare workers who carry out the vaccinations. ”


Sufficient material for a quick rollout

Because the center consists of modular building structures, it can be adapted per location.

“We can adapt the scale to the location or the local circumstances,” says Westerwaal, who indicates that the company is in the starting blocks for a further rollout. "We have sufficient materials and manpower available to install vaccination centers on a large scale in both Belgium and Germany."


Since the start of the pandemic, Losberger De Boer has adapted its structures to support healthcare. The construction company's structures have been used worldwide as triage centers, emergency hospitals and test sites. Losberger De Boer is one of the largest providers of modular buildings and has offices in Bree and Fürfeld (Germany).
