These vaccination centers will be open on Sunday, by prefectural decision, in large towns and “where necessary”.
The 1,080 centers should make it possible to vaccinate “more than 300,000 people per day”, according to the press release from Matignon, which echoes the words of the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister affirmed that the reinforcements in interns in medicine, in occupational physicians and in doctors of the health service of the armies are operational.
More than 43,000 Red Cross volunteers and 35,000 members of civil protection federations should be present in these centers to facilitate reception.
François Fillon recalled the role of treating physicians: treating patients with seasonal flu. The latter should be in great demand on this point in the coming weeks, according to the Prime Minister.
Antiviral drugs will soon be available in pharmacies free of charge, on medical prescription.
