Municipalities, hospitals, shopping centers: in Seine-Saint-Denis, 23 vaccination centers will beat the recall

2021-12-05T09:58:09.036Z


While appointments have multiplied since the generalization of the booster dose of anti-Covid vaccines, six new places


They have barely closed their doors when they have to reopen them, and urgently.

The announcements of the Minister of Health Olivier Véran on November 25, and in particular the generalization of the administration of a booster dose to adults vaccinated against Covid-19, lead the communities and the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis to get organized quickly to set up new vaccination centers and build the capacity of existing sites.

Here, as elsewhere, it is the commotion of the fight.

Time is running out: the validity of the health pass will now be conditional on the administration of this third dose (or a second in certain cases).

The government has set January 15 as the date beyond which the certificate for French people aged 18 to 64, who have not received their booster dose more than seven months after their last injection, will be deactivated.

An example: if you received your second dose of Pfizer on June 18, your pass will lapse as of January 18, 2022. To extend its validity without interruption, you must receive your booster dose before January 11, 2022. A simulator easy to use exists here.

The Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture announces that 22 structures will be opened in the department for this recall campaign.

In detail, these are the seven hospitals already operational *, the nine vaccination centers still open ** and therefore the capacity will be strengthened, as well as six new municipal centers ***.

"In addition, there are outpatient armed vaccination relays in conjunction with the municipalities," state services specify.

Drancy would have "preferred to maintain activity in November"

“To date, 65% of pharmacies and 15% of doctors are authorized to vaccinate as a booster”, in Seine-Saint-Denis, adds the regional health agency.

Which also underlines that "the offer in the city has developed a lot" at the Ile-de-France scale.

"Today, more than 40% of vaccine doses injected are at his pharmacist or doctor, sometimes even his dentist or midwife," said the regional agency.

According to data from the Health Insurance dated November 28, the vaccination rate in Seine-Saint-Denis is still lower than the national rate: 63.2% of the population is fully vaccinated, against 75.5% for the whole the French.

The first of the six centers to reopen was that of Raincy, on Friday.

The Tremblay-en-France center will now take place within the Jean-Ferrat space, from Tuesday, December 14.

Between the two, Drancy reopens this Monday, December 6.

In nine months, more than 60,000 injections have already been carried out in the premises of the former René-Deschamps school.

Some 1,200 slots will be available from this first week.

"The prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis heard our request", welcomes Aude Lagarde (UDI).

The mayor, however, regrets this five-week interlude.

"We would have preferred to maintain activity in November, which we demanded until the last minute," she slips.

A new departmental center in Bobigny

Stéphane Troussel (PS), president of the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis, made the same criticism at the end of November.

“Once again, I am appalled by the government's level of unpreparedness in its announcements on the third dose,” he lamented on Twitter.

Local authorities as communities discover the announcements in the press and for 11 months undergo vaccination from the top-down decisions taken by the Defense Council.
