Coronavirus: follow the evolution of the situation Monday January 4
"We could not conceive of a massive campaign without individual traceability and collective monitoring"
Intended for doctors, this teleservice aims to collect the information necessary for the vaccination campaign: patient and doctor identities, patient consent, batch number of the injected vaccine ... Open Monday morning, Covid vaccine has "already received first connections and fillings for pre-vaccine consultations and vaccinations, "he added.
After having informed the nursing homes then the liberal doctors at the end of December, the Health Insurance will do the same this week for the hospitals which start to vaccinate their carers, so "that they can integrate this tool in their practice".

"Things will accelerate this week, but we could not conceive of a massive campaign without this tool which allows both individual traceability and collective monitoring," said Thomas Fatome.
Covid Vaccine is linked to the French Medicines Agency (ANSM) portal to facilitate the reporting of adverse events by physicians and vaccinated patients.
On the other hand, its file will not be crossed with that of Contact Covid, which lists infected people and their "contact cases".
It will also not be used for a possible "vaccine passport" to facilitate travel.
"The legal framework does not provide for this possibility," recalled the director of Health Insurance, stressing that "this tool is only used for the vaccination campaign and has no other use".
