This is a record: 202,273 doses of vaccine were injected on Saturday, throughout France, according to figures from Public Health France.
This is the highest for a Saturday, more than double the previous record (70,478) last weekend, even if Olivier Véran had advanced the figure a little higher of 220,000 this Saturday.
A progression which is explained by the accelerator of the government, which had released thousands of doses everywhere in France.
Faced with accelerating vaccination, the epidemic is still not receding.
The number of new contaminations in 24 hours reached 21,825 cases, against 23,306 the day before.
19,952 new cases over the same period were registered a week ago.
