It is a question of "
concretely assessing the achievement of the objectives assigned last week to the CNAM and to the Vaccines Task Force of the Ministry of Health and the conditions for launching this new part of the vaccination campaign

Last Tuesday, during a visit to a vaccination center in Valenciennes (North), he assured that there was "
no weekend and public holidays for vaccination
" which is "
the heart of the battle
”.
This week promises to be decisive for pulling the country out of the third wave of the epidemic.
Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that "
nothing
" had been decided on a possible additional turn of the screw in the 19 most affected departments, including those of Île-de-France.
The number of patients in intensive care rose to 4872 on Sunday evening, approaching the peak of the second wave in the fall (4903).
As for hospitalizations, the figures are also on the rise with 27,712 hospitalized patients, including 1,017 new admissions in 24 hours.
In Valenciennes, the president announced that the Health Insurance was going to launch a campaign of telephone calls "
to offer vaccination
" to over 75s who have not taken any steps or have become discouraged.
He also indicated that 70-75 year olds, without comorbidities, could be vaccinated from Saturday, or about 3.5 million additional people.
