German term or phrase: Impfstraße
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.

vaccination stream


Explanation:

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.

He added that the vaccines are administered in a discreet manner within a dedicated vaccination lane which cars can drive through, while the vaccine recipient remains in the comfort of their own vehicle.

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


Explanation:
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...)
23 hrs
  -> 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


Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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'.

On the concept of 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. So will man bis zu 5.000 Menschen pro Tag impfen können, schätzt Olaf Backes von der Berufsfeuerwehr Trier."

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.
