Tuesday, July 5, more and more customers render in pharmacies to inquire about receiving a fourth dose of vaccine against Covid-19. In a pharmacy in Bouscat (Gironde)you now have to wait a week to get an appointment. Pharmacies in the Bordeaux region have just made large orders, because the rebound in the epidemic and the approach of the summer holidays have caused a sudden jump in requests for vaccination.

In another pharmacy, vaccinations were multiplied by five in a few days. Those eligible for the fourth dose are rushing due to positive cases and vacations. But before receiving your dose, you still have to test negative. For the ARS of New Aquitaine, there is no risk of shortage for this summer, because the stocks of vaccines are important.
