While the new variant of Covid-19, Omicron, is causing concern, centers, general practitioners and pharmacists have been facing, since Saturday, November 27, a rush for the injection of the third of the vaccine.
Candidates for the third dose of vaccine against Covid-19 flocked all day to a vaccination center against Covid-19 from Metz (Moselle) on this first day of the recall campaign, Saturday 27 November. With or without an appointment, demand is increasing. To cope, the head of the center, Stéphane Jacopin, reminded staff urgently: five doctors and nine nurses. Thanks to them, the center will be able to vaccinate up to 1,500 people today. “This is my third injection and it is very reassuring for me”, says a delighted man.
Others choose to be vaccinated at a pharmacy. In Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes), the dispensary had to reorganize to go from seven to fourteen injections per day. The appointment book is already full until the end of December. Anyone over 18 years of age can receive a third dose, provided they have had their second dose. injection it at least five months ago.
