• Three days of vaccination without appointment are planned in the districts of Nice to encourage the population to be vaccinated.

  • About 850 doses of vaccines are planned for each of these days.

  • At Ariane, this city operation “was more successful than the first edition for people 65 and over”.

“It's good, the first step is done! », Says Hanan, 41 years old. She has just received her first dose of vaccine. All day long, this Monday, the Sam Joubij gymnasium, at Ariane, in the east of Nice, was transformed into a vaccination center to welcome people 18 years of age and over to be vaccinated without an appointment. An approach of the municipality to "come to meet those who do not come to us".

"I took advantage of it because it is near my home and there is no need to have any specific criteria apart from the desire to be vaccinated, continues the resident of this priority neighborhood. .

In thirty minutes, it was done.

Only the second dose is missing and I will be able to go to Morocco, where I am from.

The Niçoise is not the only one to seize this opportunity to anticipate and go on a trip.

By midday, nearly 300 people had come to receive a dose of vaccine.

Like Mustapha, 58, who was reluctant in January and who wanted to "see how it went before".

“My wife is 52 and told me now is the time.

And then, if the health pass becomes compulsory for travel, at least now, I'm fine!

He says.

"Come to meet those who do not come to us"

Five vaccination tents, two with doctors, associations to support people and help them fill out the forms, "all the staff mobilized has not stopped since 8:30 am this morning", launches Fatima Khaldi-Bououghroum, deputy of the territory and counselor departmental. She explains: “The goal is to meet those who do not come to us, such as the vaccination center at the exhibition center. Ariane is like a village. People don't go out because they live inside and find everything they need there. They were then given this opportunity to protect themselves against Covid-19. "

This second edition, after the one carried out for people 65 and over, is receiving greater “interest” and “real enthusiasm” according to the territory assistant. For her, there are many reasons. “There has been a communication campaign made as close as possible to the inhabitants for a week. Brigades went to put up posters in all the building entrances, distributed flyers to letter boxes. And then, the holidays are approaching, there are also many people who are returning to work with the reopening of terraces and shops, without forgetting the decline in relation to vaccines. The first question we are asked concerns who will be injected into them. "

In total, 500 Johnson & Johnson and 350 Pfizer doses are planned for these special operations.

It will be "roughly similar" for the other two days of vaccination without appointment in the districts of Moulins and Nice North, Tuesday and Thursday.

Sectors that were chosen "based on registrations on the platform, where there were the fewest registrants," says the city.
