“It's chic here!
It's nicer than a velodrome or a stadium.
”Vaccination certificate in hand, the masked people, who emerged from the new vaccinodrome opened this Saturday morning at Disneyland Paris, in Chessy (Seine-et-Marne), did not hide their - good - surprise.
As part of the ramp-up of the vaccination campaign, in Seine-et-Marne, the convention center of the Disney's Newport Bay Club hotel will now open its spaces every weekend to amplify injections of anti-Covid vaccines .
Thirteen vaccination lines are planned, including one reserved for people with reduced mobility, on the ground floor.
Goal: 1,500 Pfizer injections per day.
People over 60 and those with a risky pathology are accepted.
The other centers are "not stripped" assures the prefect
"Depending on the arrivals of doses, we aim to make 3000 to 4000 injections per day here", assures the prefect of Seine-et-Marne, Thierry Coudert, according to which the twelve vaccination centers of the department are already functioning "at the maximum of their capacity ”.
“But here, we do not strip them, neither in terms of doses, nor in terms of numbers.
There will be vaccine allocations dedicated to vaccinodromes, ”he reassures.

"One hundred firefighters have already been trained in injections and the objective is 200", adds Colonel Maestracci, head of the departmental fire and rescue service (Sdis 77). The organization is perfectly oiled. On site, under the aegis of the prefecture, the regional health agency (ARS) and Sdis 77, sixty staff are mobilized: 30 firefighters, two private doctors, seven nurses and twelve volunteers from associations such as Civil Protection, the Red Cross and the White Cross.
In the queue, this Saturday, even before the opening of the vaccination center at 9:30 am, the registered people were patient while keeping the distance between them, if possible. Aged 64, Sophie and Bernard, from Lagny-sur-Marne, made an appointment on Doctolib as soon as the opening of the vaccinodrome was announced on Wednesday morning. “I tried the center of our city by phone and the Internet, but they reserved the doses for over 70s. It's our first time here! Sophie testifies, delighted to see her turn finally arrive.
“I signed up as soon as I knew it was opening.
I live in Favières.
But in the center of Pontault, they no longer took anyone.
Here, at least, they have doses.
And I think we can use this type of place for that.
At least it is useful for everyone, ”comments Caroline, 35, who came because of a pathology.
The "miracle worker" also wants his dose
Daniel and Marie-Véronique arrive from Claye-Souilly.
“We know the Disney park but not the area of the hotels.
It's pretty, ”smiles the sixty-year-old.
For this couple, it is the hope of ending the Covid-19, which struck Daniel last October, plunging him into a coma for six days, followed by four weeks in hospital.
“I came close to death.
They told me that I am miraculous.
There, I am still immune but I want to receive the Pfizer!

Once they have entered the vast hall, under large chandeliers, they are greeted by firefighters who check their reservation on Doctolib and their state of health.
A “sorting doctor”, identifiable by his fluorescent green vest, can direct people who need a prior medical consultation to a colleague present, in complete confidentiality of course.
Then the route invites everyone to go to a large waiting room in the basement or, for people with reduced mobility, on the ground floor.
On a thick blue carpet dotted with stars, the widely spaced chairs allow you to wait your turn in a tent.
In the pharmacy next door, several people are busy.

Civil Protection and the Red Cross are watching!
Daniel and his wife leave delighted.
“It's super suitable!
There is really room ”, greets Hélène Marie, departmental delegate of the ARS.
According to her, in Seine-et-Marne, 67% of over 80s have already been vaccinated, as well as 72% of 75-80 year olds and 60% of 70-74 year olds.
