The Laojie COVID-19 vaccine inoculation station at Yingbin Plaza in Dongmen, Luohu district, was opened on April 2 as the largest inoculation station in Luohu.

Dongmen is an important shopping center of the city of Shenzhen. It receives about 200,000 visits a day on average.

In the jurisdiction of the Dongmen sub-district office, there were only three community-level medical care agencies where people could receive a jab before the Laojie inoculation station was set up.

To satisfy the demands of the people, the sub-district office worked together with the district public health commission, and the diseases prevention and control center to found a large-scale temporary inoculation station in the Dongmen pedestrian street.

The station was designed on March 27, and construction started the following day. It started trial operation on April 1.

The more than 20 medical workers working there come from the Luohu People's Hospital and the Dongmen sub-district community health service center.

Lyu Yi, Party chief of the Dongmen sub-district, called on local residents and tourists to set aside half-an-hour to receive their injection.

"It is convenient to get the jab here," said an express delivery man, explaining he was too busy to go to the community inoculation center.
