an

enormous

challenge

"to meet massive orders.

Friday, the two laboratories announced unexpectedly not to be able to provide the amount of doses to which they had committed, triggering the wrath of European countries, already criticized for the slowness of the vaccination campaign.

They then assured the next day that they had put in place a "plan" to limit the delays in delivery of their vaccine to one week, while Europe feared that the deliveries of doses would weaken for "

three to four weeks

".

At the end of the month, one million French people will be vaccinated, and our goal is to vaccinate 15 million French people by the end of June,
