Change of gear in the government vaccine strategy.
People over the age of 75 will be able to receive an injection against Covid-19 "from Monday, January 18," Jean Castex said Thursday.
The Prime Minister, while defending himself from leading a speed race against other countries, specified that "45,000 people" had been vaccinated "in the last five days".
These vaccinations of elderly people living outside nursing homes "will take place in vaccination centers" since "one center per department has already been opened" or "100 on the territory", added the Prime Minister.
"From Monday there will be 300, then 600 gradually until the end of January," he added.
