German term

Impfstraße

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care
A company is offering voluntary vaccinations to its employees. Is 'Impfstraße' just the same as 'Impfstelle' or 'Impfzentrum' i.e. just a vaccination centre. Or is there a distinction to be made here? Thanks for your help!

Seit der vergangenen Woche steht nun direkt neben dem Selbsttestzentrum auch eine Impfstraße.

Wendy Streitparth May 31, 2021:
Have to say I agree with Andrew and Johannes that the wrong answer was chosen.
If you look more closely at Harald's link you should notice that it refers to a drive-through centre, where lane would be appropriate, but it is definitely not here.
Johannes Gleim May 31, 2021:
@ Jonathan Due to the wrong answer chosen (site/lane), I searched again and found a bilingual source.

In Stadthallen, Sportstätten, ehemaligen Lager- und Fabrikhallen, also überall dort, wo größere überdachte Räume zur Verfügung stehen, werden nach dem Anlauf der freiwilligen Massenimpfung tausende Personen täglich durch „Impfstraßen“ geleitet und dann von geschultem Personal beraten und „behandelt“ werden – alles selbstverständlich unter Wahrung der erforderlichen Abstände und der Intimität.
https://www.wsm.eu/de/newsroom/anwendungsbeispiele/gestaltun...

At least one of these new vaccination centres will be established and put into operation as soon as possible in every administrative district and city in Germany. In city halls, sports facilities, former warehouses and factories, i.e. wherever larger indoor spaces are available, thousands of people will be guided through “vaccination thoroughfares” daily.
https://www.wsm.eu/en/newsroom/case-studies/vaccination-cent...

But I must admit, that " thoroughfare" has no much hits.
Lancashireman May 30, 2021:
Asker thinks 'site' works well here Askers post questions here because - by the nature of things - they don't know the answers. Paradoxical, isn't it?
Johannes Gleim May 30, 2021:
@ Mair You are right, the vaccination center in Frankfurt am Main has 5"Impfstraßen" in parallel

Zum Start am 19. Januar, waren zwei der vorhandenen fünf Impfstraßen beziehungsweise 17 von 43 Impfkabinen in Betrieb. Ausgelegt ist das Frankfurter Impfzentrum für 4000 Impfungen am Tag. Zeitaufwand pro Impfung: etwa eine Stunde – davon 30 Minuten Ruhezeit, um allergische Reaktionen auszuschließen.
https://frankfurt.de/aktuelle-meldung/sondermeldungen/frankf...
Mair A-W (PhD) May 27, 2021:
Impfstraßen in Germany are not in themselves vaccination centres/sites, huge or otherwise. They are the lanes/streams/routes through a site. A site that has one or more Impfstraße(n) can have several people in the system in series: a number of stations that the vaccinnees progress through - compare to e.g. a GP surgery which wouldn't have a sense of "Straße" as you just go in - so in that sense, yes, they are "mass" sites; however the Straße also indicates something about vaccination in parallel: new arrivals to the site/centre/facility are directed to one of the Straße(n) at the site. A site with two Impfstraße can have two vaccinnees moving through the system in parallel. So a huge site will have several - just one Impfstraße is not huge.
In this case, in the asker's context, however, most of this is not relevant. The test centre has been expanded to add a vaccination facility. Describing it as a 'Straße' indicates that it's sort of part of the overall facility (Impfstraße usually being found in Impfzentren), that it has several stations that people will move through, and, since there's only one, no parallelism. But none of this is really needed for the context given above...
Lancashireman May 20, 2021:
A mass of proposals, indeed But none of them feature 'mass': https://www.google.com/search?q="mass vaccination centre"&oq...
Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) May 20, 2021:
A total of nine entries - this is interesting :-)
Johannes Gleim May 19, 2021:
A mass of proposals But some do not convey the German meaning of "Straße" (street or chain) like centre, site, walk-in (entrance) or drive-in.
Stuart and Aida Nelson May 19, 2021:
Impfstrasse Die Kommunen stecken schon seit Längerem in den Vorbereitungen - wie etwa in Trier, wo in einer Messehalle geimpft werden soll. Der Ablauf wird dort durch eine sogenannte "Impfstraße" genau geregelt: Registrierung, Gespräch mit einem Arzt oder Ärztin, dann die Impfung und die Möglichkeit, sich kurz auszuruhen - das Ganze soll nicht länger als fünfzehn Minuten dauern.

Mair A-W (PhD) May 19, 2021:
In general, an Impfzentrum may have multiple Impfstraße -- lanes, if you will -- as here in Mainz where a second Straße has been opened at the Zentrum: https://www.mainz-bingen.de/de/aktuelles/meldungen/134481498...

In the specific, i.e. the context described here "steht nun direkt neben dem Selbsttestzentrum auch eine Impfstraße", I agree it's fine and sufficient to call it a vaccination site.
Klaus Conrad May 19, 2021:
Vaccination centre should be okay, imo.
Impfstraße says that the whole process of vaccination consists of several parts (registration, information, vaccination etc.) and that these places are arrranged one after the other in a linear arrangement.

vaccination stream


All people booking to attend will be invited to declare any access needs at booking and registration with the service

If appropriate they will be directed to a vaccination stream / location capable of meeting their needs

Features of an accessible stream should include
• Wider social distancing Two metres of separation
• Quieter with Induction loop facilities available
• Ability to attend with carers, who may be vaccinated at the same time if appropriate

https://www.google.com/search?q="to a vaccination stream"&cl...



Where a person is identified who needs to be monitored for an extended period of time post-vaccination (for example due to past history of vaccination adverse drug reactions or significant history of allergic reactions) they are to be informed and directed to a specific vaccination stream and waiting area.

Testing and vaccination street on campus
The Rectorate is currently in talks with the Vienna City Council for Health about the establishment of a testing and vaccination centre at a TU location, operated jointly with the City of Vienna. The concept behind this is to be able to offer both TUW employees and the Viennese population a centrally located and safe testing and vaccination station. We will inform you if and when this option can be implemented.

walk-in (covid) vaccination (centre/site)

I think the closest to an Impfstrasse in the UK is a walk-in covid vaccination centre/site

The idea of walking in resembles the process you have to go through registering your details, going to the nurse/doctor who applies the vaccination and finally sitting for at least 15 minutes for observation in case of side effects.

Vaccine centres offering walk-in appointments

From today (Wednesday 24 February 2021), for a trial period of 7 days, eligible people will be able to walk-in for their COVID-19 vaccination at four large-scale vaccination centres across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

disagree Mair A-W (PhD) : "walk-in" implies you don't have to book in advance (this is the case with your references), but nothing about Impfstraße means that. (If it did, I'd have been at my local Impfzentrum, which boasts two Impfstraße, weeks ago...)

In the current situation, you have to book your vaccine in advance even at a walk-in centre/site. Is that in Germany different? I chose walk-in because the walk-in sites are smaller than huge vaccination centres or am I missing something?

vaccination line

Allowing for cleaning in between use, there would need to be 4 seats per vaccination line.

Each vaccination 'line' or 'team' will therefore require a doctor and a nurse (although obviously a second simultaneous line could be operated by two nurses if a doctor is present in the first team).

one-stop lane for vaccination services

Translation:
"Last week, a one-stop lane for vaccination services was set up right next to the self-testing center."

Impfstrasse is not a metaphorical term in the sense of providing a roadmap to successful vaccination and it's not about following specific protocols either (pathway). I think what it means here is that people seem to be able to get all their covid-related services bundled together at several 'stations' consisting of hastily erected pop-up structures in close proximity to each other. I like 'one-stop' lane because it suggests that people are getting all their 'Covid shopping' done in one 'street'.

Was ist eine Impfstraße

Eine Impfstraße regelt den Ablauf in einem Impfzentrum. Gemeint ist mit diesem Begriff der Prozess von der Registrierung bis zur Impfung selbst. Je mehr Impfstraßen in Betrieb sind, desto mehr Menschen können in einem Zentrum geimpft werden.
