The opening was scheduled for Monday for several weeks.
It will ultimately not take place.
Due to lack of sufficient vaccine doses, the second vaccination center in Villeurbanne (Rhône) will not be able to welcome its first visitors from Monday.
The deadline is postponed at best "to mid-February" and "perhaps later", indicates the municipality very recovered.
A space of twelve vaccination boxes, open for eight hours, six days a week, had been specially fitted out in the cultural center of the city.
More than a year to vaccinate those over 75
"Three days before the opening of online appointments, the prefecture and the Regional Health Agency have just informed us that this opening would be postponed, due to a lack of vaccine doses at the national level" , specifies the mayor of Villeurbanne Cédric Van Styvendael, deeming this announcement “incomprehensible and inadmissible”.
“In a few days, we deployed all the logistical and human resources to support the strategy of the Ministry of Health and today, we are faced with a fait accompli: there are no vaccines!
», He laments.
And to add: "At a time when we are announced a probable reconfinement, where we are warned about the strain of hospital capacities, vaccination appears to be the only alternative to get out of this crisis which does not in the end.
At the current vaccination rate, it would take more than a year to vaccinate all Villeurbanne over 75 years old ”.
