In the wake of the Ministry of Health’s decision to bring forward the vaccination campaign against Covid-19, communities are also mobilizing.
The information is starting to be relayed by the communities, and in particular by the municipality of Guivry, which broadcast a message on September 22 via the Panneau pocket app to the attention of its residents and users.
The Covid-19 vaccination campaign, scheduled to start on October 17, at the same time as the flu vaccination, has been brought forward by 15 days. From Monday October 2, the most fragile people (aged over 65 or with risk factors) or in contact with vulnerable people and healthcare professionals will be able to receive a booster dose.
Via health professionals in town
« Vaccination is possible at local healthcare professionals: at your GP (general practitioner or specialist), in a pharmacy, in a nursing office, in a midwife’s officeexplains the Ministry of Health and Prevention. Some of these health professionals may agree to come to your home to administer this vaccination. ».
This decision follows the presence of a more marked circulation of the virus in recent days, with a majority variant (XBB1.5). “ Vaccines adapted to the majority circulating variant are now available in sufficient quantities in France », Explains the Ministry of Health.
At the latter’s request, the health risk monitoring and anticipation committee (Covars) was asked to comment on the planned timetable. Due to the increase in the number of cases and the appearance of sub-variants, the committee brought forward the date.
Anti-Covid-19 vaccination remains possible and free for all people who wish it.
