Effective?

Sure?

Available?

Yes, the Covid-19 vaccine is all of that.

The Minister of Health affirmed it this Sunday morning on the airwaves of Europe 1. But how to explain that France had such a big delay in the ignition to administer it?

There was "a lack of clarity in the explanation of the vaccine campaign", defended Olivier Véran, assuring that "we have undoubtedly internalized the species of general mistrust vis-à-vis vaccines that we constantly talked about on the sets and in families ”.

Understand that the government first spoke to skeptics of vaccination, without addressing the part of the population who are impatient to be vaccinated.

Hence the immense precautions to explain the vaccine to residents of nursing homes, the priority public at the start of the campaign launched on December 27 in all the countries of the European Union, and which suffers from a long delay in France.

“Let's be serious for two minutes!

No nursing home resident receives 58 pages of documents explaining how to organize the logistics of vaccination, ”continued the minister, referring to the literature received by the directors of retirement homes to help them obtain the consent of their residents. , which drew much criticism.

"At the end of January, we will have vaccinated more than a million French people"

But Olivier Véran also attributes the slow start to a "lack of experience with this vaccine".

Confidence came "after a week, with millions of people vaccinated" around the world.

“And the scientists themselves who told us to be careful felt that we could accelerate,” he argued.

In fact, "by the end of January, we will have vaccinated more than a million French people", he promised, thanks to two tools: vaccination centers - "we have, unlike the Germans, 10 times more operational centers to be able to vaccinate the elderly nearby ”- and a website which will be accessible from January 14, ie Thursday.

Via this site, those over 75 can make an online appointment to be vaccinated in the center closest to their home.

Faced with the English variant, whose extreme contagiousness worries, the minister assured that "some clusters" were identified in France.

In Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), the patient tested is from England, she returned before the holidays.

Among his 45 contact cases, 24 tested positive, but Olivier Véran assured that he could not say whether these patients were infected "by the variant, or by another strain of the virus".

Saturday, the Regional Health Agency had confirmed to conduct additional studies.

Nationally, preliminary analyzes seem to show that 1% of cases fall within the variant.

But the number of tests that led to this result "is insufficient to be able to draw conclusions", he warned.

"We will have more important results today (Sunday), Monday and Tuesday which will allow us to have an idea of ​​the state of circulation" of the British variant.
