  • Some 100,000 people have already been vaccinated in Pays-de-la-Loire.

  • New meeting slots will be offered in the coming hours.

  • The Moderna vaccine will be available at the end of the week.

Rather late until then, the vaccination campaign in Pays-de-la-Loire now seems to be accelerating.

The milestone of 100,000 people vaccinated has just been reached, says the director of the regional health agency (ARS).

Among them, 3,500 received their second injunction.

It is a little better than the objective initially set at this stage, specifies the ARS.

Almost 63% of residents in nursing homes have already been vaccinated.

In addition, new meeting slots will be offered over the next few hours to people over 75, via Doctolib, reports the ARS.

They were full since January 19 due to high demand and insufficient vaccine volume.

New supplies of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine are imminent, while the Moderna vaccine should be available in Pays-de-la-Loire from the weekend.

The Pays-de-la-Loire region has a total of 32 approved vaccination centers and, for the moment, cannot open others, given the constraints of packaging and supply of vaccines, justifies the ARS.

The epidemic stabilizes in the region

Since January 29, coaches and TER of the Aléop regional network have been free for people going to a vaccination center (on presentation of proof of appointment).

The regional council has also decided to mobilize aid of 10,000 euros for each municipality or inter-municipality hosting an approved vaccination center.

Epidemiologically, the indicators are stable in Pays-de-la-Loire and remain below the national average.

The incidence rate, which measures the number of new infections among the population, stands at 166 per 100,000 inhabitants (211 in France), against 164 a week earlier.

The positivity rate, which measures the number of positive cases among people presenting for a test, goes from 6.2% to 5.9% (6.6% in France) in one week.

The number of hospitalizations is increasing slightly, that of patients in intensive care is decreasing.
