"We did not throw away any dose": the vaccine park at Disneyland Paris is running at full speed

2021-05-16T12:44:06.932Z


The pace of vaccination is accelerating in the largest center of Seine-et-Marne. Since its opening on April 24, more than 25,800 people


It is 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, when the counter already displays 1300 injections carried out since the morning.

"We will arrive at 2000 people vaccinated at the end of the day," announces, satisfied, Lieutenant-Colonel Olivier Compta, of the departmental fire and rescue service of Seine-et-Marne (Sdis 77).

This weekend, the pace of injections at the vaccine park at Disneyland Paris will therefore reach a new level.

Installed in the magnificent premises of the convention center of the Disney's Newport Bay Club hotel since April 24, this vaccinodrome - entirely managed by the firefighters under the aegis of the prefecture and the regional health agency (ARS) - does not not empty.

It is an understatement to say that the machine, which now operates 7 days a week, from 9 am to 5 pm, is well oiled.

"We have the organizational and logistical know-how", emphasizes Olivier Compta.

The candidates for the vaccine - here, it is the Pfizer that is injected - come from the entire Paris region, after registering on Doctolib.

Very few people forget to come or cancel their appointment.

And it is at the end of the day that the youngest people, who have no co-morbidities, can try their luck and get vaccinated.

"We have not thrown any dose from the start," said the lieutenant-colonel.

More than 25,800 people vaccinated since April 24

Since May 10, those over 50 can benefit from the vaccination campaign, regardless of their medical situation.

Hence the influx.

No less than 65 firefighters - helped by volunteers from civil security associations - are on the move.

And the least we can say is that the pace is fluid in the largest vaccination center in Seine-et-Marne, which will have vaccinated 2,068 people this Saturday and more than 25,800 volunteers since its opening.

At the entrance, doctors check the health questionnaires and validate - or not - exceptional cases.

Vaccine candidates then go to the basement, where they join one of the 14 vaccination lines.

In each box: a nurse or a firefighter, specifically trained in vaccination.

Coupvray, this Saturday.

At the Disneyland Paris vaccine park, the national count of people who have received a first dose is displayed on a light panel.

Once the vaccine has been injected - the material was prepared by a pharmacist from Sdis 77 from the doses provided by the Grand Hospital de l'Est Ile-de-France - the patient goes to the next room, where the national count is displayed on a light panel.

The time to receive his certificate and his summons for the second injection, he waits about fifteen minutes in a waiting room.

Before leaving the premises.

The firefighters are now looking to the south of Seine-et-Marne.

"We are considering the possibility of installing another large vaccination center in the Fontainebleau sector in the coming weeks," announces Lieutenant-Colonel Olivier Compta.

It remains to find where.
