The Velodrome gives way to the vaccinodrome.
In a press release, the regional health agency announces that the legendary Marseille stadium will host a vaccination center against Covid-19.
This vaccination will be done in collaboration with the city, owner of the sports site, the Marseille hospitals (AP-HM), the territorial professional health communities and the marine firefighters of Marseille.
Contacted by AFP, the ARS was unable to give a more precise date.
Local elected officials launched this idea to speed up the vaccination campaign.
“I am ready to open the Vélodrome stadium in the coming days and to vaccinate 10,000 people per week without an appointment.
I want to do it.
Send vaccines!
“, Launched the socialist mayor of Marseille Benoît Payan at the end of February.
