There is no longer a single possibility of an appointment this Tuesday, in the Doubs, to be vaccinated.
"No appointment is available for the moment but many slots will be put online in the days to come", is it registered on the Doctolib site.
In other vaccination centers, elsewhere in France, it is the same thing: it is no longer possible to make an appointment for several weeks, as it was until then possible.
The fault of new instructions from the health authorities, as revealed by L'Est Républicain.
In an email sent on Monday, and that the Republican East was able to consult, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Bourgogne Franche-Comté asks those in charge of the vaccination centers to apply new measures "urgently". "All D1 appointments (
Editor's note: first dose
) which remain available at this time on Doctolib must be closed for this week and the following weeks", writes the agency, according to comments reported by the newspaper.
In a tweet, the senator and general practitioner Bernard Jomier publishes an email sent by the ARS. Several measures are written there: "block all D1 appointments not taken this week", "end the walk-in now", "block all D1 appointments not taken from next week, including including the first two weeks of August, and not to open any meeting in the month of August ”. In the same mail, other measures are applied to professionals who would vaccinate with Pfizer, in particular with a stop to “the supply of Pfizer” from “next week”.
(New tweet with the date of the document) The implementation of an extended health pass at short notice while the ARS are forced to slow down the vaccination campaign is unfair and inapplicable.
The State commits a serious fault.
Take it easy, @EmmanuelMacron @JeanCASTEX.

With the Republican East, the ARS of New Aquitaine confirms.
And explains: “The tremendous impetus towards vaccination observed since the presidential announcements made it possible to quickly absorb the stocks of vaccines unfortunately accumulated during the weeks of under-consumption of deliveries.
We are therefore moving back to a just-in-time dose allocation system: the doses received during each weekly delivery are consumed in the week following their receipt.
"Appointments would therefore open a few days before the appointment, and no longer several weeks before ...
Exploding deadlines
“We are in fact returning to just-in-time management of vaccine stocks, within the framework of allocations fixed at each center each week. Nearly 177,000 injections were recorded last week in Bourgogne Franche-Comté, including 76,000 first-time vaccinations, against 50,000 the previous week ”, communicated to France 3 the ARS of Bourgogne Franche-Comté. Appointments already made should not be canceled.
According to BFM TV, Olivier Véran called on Tuesday in front of the deputies of the majority to reduce the deadlines for making appointments. "Everyone who wishes should be able to be vaccinated, not in three to four weeks, but in the next ten to fifteen days," the Minister of Health told parliamentarians. According to Doctolib statistics, you have to wait on average 15 days (over the last 7 days) between making the appointment and the appointment itself. In some areas, you have to wait more than 20 days.
At the dawn of the entry into force of the health pass, compulsory to enter certain places from this Wednesday, before being extended in August to restaurants, bars, cafes and other places open to the public, the news falls rather wrong. Will there be enough doses to allow everyone to be vaccinated? The deputy PS Valérie Rabault was alarmed this Tuesday in the National Assembly: "If there are not enough doses, how do you expect the health pass to come into force? You lock up the French and give them the illusion of a freedom that does not yet exist. "
