Since the end of February, the agglomeration of Évreux Portes de Normandie, in partnership with ARS and Crédit Agricole, has chosen to meet people aged 75 and over and vulnerable people at very high risk with a Médico Bus. Out of the urban public transport networks, with its 600,000 kilometers on the clock, this bus has been set up as a mobile laboratory with its reception, its vaccination room and its recovery and control area. A doctor and a nurse travel twice a week on the country roads of around fifty villages: “Each stop irrigates all the surrounding villages. This allows people who cannot or do not want to travel to a vaccinodrome or queue in queues, to benefit from the vaccination in complete safety.It also becomes a meeting point for people who have not seen each other for months, ”explains Francine Bader, the 1st deputy of Marcilly-la-Campagne.
" It's reassuring "
From 10 am to 4 pm, parked in front of town halls or town halls, the Médico Bus receives “citizens registered in advance at town hall.
The lists are then given to the health service of the agglomeration which makes the appointments, details Christophe Alory, the mayor of Moisville and vice-president of Évreux Portes de Normandie.
To date, no one has missed the call.
Anyway, if doses are dragging, I have 2 or 3 replacements to call.
Upon arrival, patients pass into the hands of the physician and are vaccinated only with Pfizer.
People are happy.
"
A development made it possible to install a reception, a vaccination room and a control room.

Comments confirmed by those concerned, such as Michel, aged 78. He has been fighting since January to get a free slot by phone or on the Internet: “There, I was offered a day and an hour. On the spot, I did not wait. I arrived with my tests and prescriptions for medication and was able to talk to the doctor. It's reassuring. And he will not forget to come the next time he is vaccinated for his second vaccination.
