"Out of the question to lose doses!" : Seine-Saint-Denis wants to vaccinate new audiences

2021-03-23T19:46:32.094Z


In the department, several centers are no longer able to fill the slots intended for people over 75 years old. Among the elected,


In Montreuil, the agents relaunched the elderly registered in their files last week to offer them an appointment because there was "a slack" in the agenda.

In the vaccination centers of Noisy-le-Grand and Tremblay-en-France, slots were still available at the beginning of the week.

Same observation in Saint-Denis or Livry-Gargan.

The phenomenon is not massive but here and there, in Seine-Saint-Denis, the agendas of the vaccination centers managed by the communities are filling less quickly than before.

Receiving Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, they are currently reserved for people over the age of 75 or "at very high risk of severe form of Covid-19".

On Monday, the Regional Health Agency indicated that 134,651 people had received one or two injections in Seine-Saint-Denis (people vaccinated in Seine-Saint-Denis do not necessarily live there).

"We're starting to call people aged 72, 73, 74"

"Clearly, we can no longer fill the niches with the targets given by the government, loose Katy Bontinck, the assistant (PS) in health of Saint-Denis.

We have almost reached the current target.

Via our waiting list, we are starting to call people aged 72, 73, 74, we are widening the co-morbidities.

Losing doses is out of the question.

"

Katy Bontinck "really presses to ask the question of the public".

The announcement of the President of the Republic, this Tuesday, the expansion of vaccination to people over 70 years from this weekend remains "totally insufficient", according to her.

"Vaccine endowments will soon be very massive," predicts the elected Saint-Denis.

The future Stade de France vaccinodrome, which could open on April 6, will indeed be sized to perform 10,000 vaccinations per week.

“If we stay on the very elderly, we will not vaccinate the people of the department, says Katy Bontinck.

We do not understand that there is no quick reflection on teachers, police officers, cashiers… ”

A platform to register ... and anticipate

"I've been asking for an acceleration of vaccination for a long time to avoid serious forms and break the chains of contamination", abounds the president (PS) of the departmental council Stéphane Troussel, who believes "to reach a limit" in the vaccination of more than 75 years old.

“We must expand to active, in particular the first chores, he urges.

And there are many in Seine-Saint-Denis.

The department has just launched a platform where to register "to anticipate these gradual expansions" of eligible audiences.

This does not mean giving up looking for the oldest and most vulnerable groups, specifies Stéphane Troussel, referring to the Vaccibus which travels in independent residences and the letters recently sent to the beneficiaries of various devices of the departmental council.

In Neuilly-sur-Marne, the police "decimated"

The municipality of Neuilly-sur-Marne has taken a similar approach, relaunching this Monday the elderly of the town.

In mid-January, the center received 300 doses per week.

It is now receiving 1,400 and is expected to drop to 2,400 on April 1.

According to the mayor (DVD), Zartoshte Bakhtiari, the inhabitants of Neuilly-sur-Marne, Neuilly-Plaisance and Gagny who were eligible for vaccination and applicants have, for the most part, received their injections.

"It is becoming urgent and imperative to open up to the maximum," claims the elected.

For example, my municipal police and my public highway surveillance agents are decimated by the Covid-19 or are in contact.

Of fifteen people, half are out of service.

If we want to enforce the instructions, we need staff.

19 out of 40 cities do not have a vaccination center

This Tuesday, Emmanuel Macron also announced that "campaigns targeted at professions which are exposed, to which efforts are required", such as teachers, could begin in mid-April.

“It's much, much too late,” regrets the mayor of Neuilly-sur-Marne.

For the mayor (PCF) of Stains, a town which does not have a vaccination center, "the glass ceiling for those over 75 has not been reached".

"We spend our time establishing lists, going to look for people, chartering buses to take people to Bobigny, Pierrefitte or Saint-Denis," says Azzedine Taïbi.

If I had not set up this logistics, a good part of these retirees would not have come.

He fears difficulties when expanding eligible audiences.

“It's going to be even worse to manage,” he fears.

In Seine-Saint-Denis, 19 out of 40 cities do not have a vaccination site, this is unacceptable.

We should multiply the centers to be as close as possible to the people.
