2021-03-21T15:46:47.654Z


The occupational medicine company Médisis will open at the beginning of April two vaccination centers in Creil and Beauvais for employees of its between.


Fighting action this Friday at Médisis in Senlis (Oise).

While the company of occupational medicine is preparing to launch its vaccination campaign, it learns at 1 p.m. that the AstraZeneca vaccine should finally no longer be inoculated to those under 55 years of age.

“We have to adapt to changes in instructions, which forces us to reorganize our schedule, deplores Muriel Legent, coordinating doctor at Médisis.

We had to vaccinate caregivers but they are not of the required age ... "

After this somewhat thwarted official launch, the vaccination campaign with businesses will really begin next week, with the opening of a vaccination center on April 1 in Creil and April 2 in Beauvais.

Vaccinations will take place every 20 minutes from 9 a.m. to noon and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Two teams, made up of a medico-administrative assistant, a nurse and an occupational doctor, will be present on Thursdays and Fridays in the two cities.

"Anything that speeds up the process is good to take"

In total, in the Oise, some 90,000 employees from 7,500 partner companies, including 75% of VSEs and SMEs, as well as health personnel, with no age limit, may be affected by this campaign.

The first to be vaccinated will be those between 50 and 64 years old and suffering from co-morbidities.

“The steps towards our partner companies have been launched,” indicates Mathieu Lallemant, Managing Director of Médisis.

Employees are informed about the vaccination process by the company.

The decision to be vaccinated is up to the employee.

An initiative that the economic world of the department observes with a benevolent eye.

"We can only be in favor," confirms Philippe Enjolras, president of the chamber of commerce and industry (CCI) of the Oise.

The doctors and the logistics are there and the companies will play the game. Everyone is aware that to get out of this crisis, we must vaccinate as many people as possible.

Anything that speeds up the process is okay to take.

"As it was shorter with occupational medicine, I favored this solution"

Valérie, 57, and Henri, 68, two employees of the Cetim de Senlis company, are the first to benefit from the system in the Oise.

"I called on March 11 following information on the company's intranet and I had the appointment for March 19," recalls Valérie.

And the controversy over the possible dangerousness of the AstraZeneca vaccine does not seem to worry him too much.

“I'm a little scared of the needle, but it has nothing to do with the vaccine,” she says.

My husband has multiple sclerosis, he must not be infected.

It decided me.

His colleague Henri is not worried either.

On the contrary: “My cousin is dying from Covid-19, I was eager to be able to get vaccinated.

I had an appointment in several weeks, via my attending physician.

But since it was shorter with occupational medicine, I favored this solution.

For these employees, as for all future candidates for vaccination, the process will be strictly identical.

It begins with an interview with the medico-administrative assistant.

"I detail the process to the patient," explains the latter.

I check the different criteria, make him fill out a questionnaire.

There is also a temperature measurement.

Then, the employee has a pre-vaccination interview with the occupational physician who informs the employee of the various contraindications.

"The arrival of the Johnson vaccine should make things easier"

Then it's up to the nurses to play with the needle.

"We must be careful to inject 0.5 ml of the vaccine, but the product is easy to take," says Annie Audrefoy-Ruscant.

Once the vaccination has been carried out, the patient remains under surveillance for 15 minutes.

“If there is an anaphylactic shock, we can inject an intravenous, warns Catherine Zajac, nurse at Médisis.

In all cases, the Samu is alerted.

“Valérie and Henri, they left with their certificate and an appointment for the second injection, scheduled for May 20.

For Médisis, the concerns for the moment come from the number of vaccines available.

“To vaccinate, we need doses,” confirms Mathieu Lallemant.

As soon as the government approached us in January, we prepared the protocol.

The start was slow precisely because of the lack of vaccines.

The arrival of the Johnson vaccine should make things easier.
