The routes of the trucks and the places of storage of the vaccines against the Covid-19 will be kept secret until the last moment to avoid in particular thefts and burglaries.
France is ready for its vaccination campaign
If most French people are still skeptical about vaccines, the Minister of Health Oliver Véran assured him: “France is ready” for the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus which will begin Sunday in nursing homes in France.
The delivery and storage of vaccines will be under very close surveillance. The police and actors in the health chain say they are “Fully mobilized”, but the risks are many.
Interpol is concerned about crime
“With the delivery of vaccines, crime will increase dramatically”Interpol leader Jürgen Stock warned on Monday. “We are going to witness thefts, break-ins of warehouses and attacks during the transport of vaccines”, he explained.
The international criminal police organization has also alerted countries to the need to “Guarantee the security of the supply chain”.
Routes kept secret and enhanced security
The routes of the trucks are kept secret, revealed at the last minute and never the same between the laboratory and the storage places, which are also kept secret. Some convoys will be discreetly escorted by several vehicles.
Security will also be reinforced around the companies involved in the transport and storage of doses and their computer exchanges will be particularly monitored.
In a confidential document sent to the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) and to the prefectures, unveiled by the JDD, the State warns of risks “Malicious acts (damage, theft, cyberattack), actions by anti-vaccine activists or terrorist acts targeting sites”.
