ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated innovations in practice in almost all areas of healthcare, not least community nursing services. This article details how one organisation planned and executed a home vaccination programme for housebound members of the population in its remit. It discusses the challenges faced by the team, as well as the key learnings achieved from this programme, which will guide future home immunisation programmes. Implementation of this programme required excellent coordination between clinicians and administrative staff. Importantly, support from the procurement and IT teams and the medicines management committee went a long way in the ironing out of early hiccups and in ensuring smooth running of the programme.
