Europe 1 visited several vaccination centers in Yvelines, where not all injection candidates have one of the comorbidities that are supposed to make them eligible.

A certain tolerance is applied by health professionals, within the limits of the available doses. 

REPORTAGE

"I have my curves which help me a little, here is ...", smiles a candidate for the injection against the Covid-19.

Since the expansion of vaccination to people over 18 years of age with comorbidity, last weekend, slots have been taken by storm on booking platforms.

But do the French really respect the rules of the Ministry of Health?

Europe 1 visited several vaccination centers in Yvelines, where everything rests on the assessment of the vaccinating doctor, the good faith of the patient… and a certain permissiveness.

No need to bring proof

Because there are candidates for vaccination showing "external" signs of eligibility - such as overweight or shortness of breath - but also those whose "comorbidity" is not visible.

"We have one of our children who is immunocompromised, so we have a medical certificate," explains a father.

"I had the prescription, but they did not ask me," said a patient with hypertension, just vaccinated.

Since last weekend, proof is in fact no longer required.

At the Versailles vaccination center, Romain, 33, tried his luck with a vaccination doctor.

"He asked me if I had any co-morbidities, I said to him: 'listen, I admit that no, it's just that I work in a place that welcomes the public, so I tried. told me: 'you did well'. "

"If we have doses, we open the criteria"

But "vaccination fraudsters" remain marginal, say doctors.

"We have a priori confidence. The way people respond to us, we can see if they know their pathologies, if they know how to describe it", explains to Europe 1 doctor Marie-France Jourdan. 

Tolerance depends above all on vaccine stocks, adds Nesrine Rahmouni, coordinating doctor at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines mega-center. "We still have recommendations, we try to respect them as much as possible. If ever we have doses to use, we open the eligibility criteria, which is normal."
