Finally, Paris has a specific center for vaccinating against monkey pox.

The Edison center, in the 13th arrondissement, opened on Tuesday and will initially operate with around ten temporary health professionals from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday morning.

Until now, Ile-de-France had twelve hospitals and five sexual health centers (CSD) where it was possible to be vaccinated.

According to Anne Souyris, deputy mayor of Paris for health, the recruitment of 13 full-time people could make it possible to inject 4,000 doses per week, compared to around 2,500 last week, Paris hospitals and municipal centers combined.

“We should arrive at 10,000 doses per week in Paris”, estimates the elected EELV.

Additional recruitment could also make it possible to open a second specific vaccination site by the end of the week, she adds.

According to Public Health France, the capital region recorded Thursday in number of residents nearly half (726) of the 1,567 confirmed cases in France.

For Aides, 100,000 to 300,000 people need an anti-smallpox vaccination in France.

"That in September, everyone is vaccinated"

The City of Paris is calling for “emergency measures” from the State to obtain more doses and personnel vaccinating against monkeypox.

The 30,000 doses of vaccine destocked announced Friday by the Ministry of Health, “it is completely insufficient”, estimates Anne Souyris, for whom it would take ten times more to vaccinate preventively – in two doses – all people at risk in the island. -of France.

Like other associations for the fight against AIDS and elected representatives on the left, who are very critical of the vaccination campaign launched on July 11, Anne Souyris is calling on the government for a "much more serious and much faster system in terms of recruitment" to find the vaccinating staff "for the month and a half of vacation that we have left".

"Everyone must be vaccinated in September," said deputy mayor Anne Hidalgo.

We did it against the Covid, we must be able to do it again.
