Pharmacies are on the front line in the face of the Covid-19 vaccine booster campaign. The pharmacies can open every Sunday from now on.

In a pharmacy in Paris, staff have been vaccinating with full force since the opening of the vaccine booster campaign against Covid-19. Sunday December 12, the first Sunday of opening, is no exception. “We have quadrupled the requests for vaccination. We’re going to do about thirty of them, like a normal weekday “, comments Cyril Slama, pharmacist. AT Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) also, patients follow one another in a voluntary pharmacy to perform Sunday injections.

On the other hand, it is difficult to find an open pharmacy in Burgundy. Even when this is the case, impossible to make the slightest injection. There are not enough doses to vaccinate on Sunday. We should have ordered when it was still possible “, explains Victoire Jacob, pharmacist in Dijon (Golden Coast). The executive is counting on the opening of pharmacies on Sundays to speed up vaccination. More than 12 million people have already received their booster dose.
