They are therefore a few late Mayennais trying to get an appointment in recent days. “And you need this health pass to go out, explains Marie-Hélène, 73, who is also in the last days to be able to do her third dose. We don’t want to be confined to our homes, and also, as Christmas approaches, we have to protect ourselves and others too. “
1,050 new meetings this Saturday

For these, the Laval vaccination center has decided to open 1050 additional meetings on the weekend of December 11, and they renew the operation this Saturday, December 18.“I think we will be able to vaccinate everyone on time, or at worst a few days late”, welcomes Doctor Laurent Garcia, doctor in charge of the Laval vaccination center. The others can always go to the vaccination center without an appointment. Those over 65 have priority in the event that there are excess doses at the end of the vaccination day.
