During his weekly press conference, Jean Castex announced that the first delivery of AstraZeneca vaccines will be made at the end of the week and that the first doses would be available on Saturday.
The arrival of this new vaccine in France will, according to the Prime Minister, "make it possible to accelerate the pace of vaccination".
"The objective of four million people having received their first injection" will be reached "by the end of February", he also promised.
