That is to say nearly 107,000 people in the department.

From this Thursday, these new beneficiaries can register on the dedicated government platform Sante.fr to make an appointment in one of the 36 vaccination centers which will open their doors in Haute-Garonne.

A departmental telephone number for making an appointment should be communicated during the day by the prefecture.

Some of the 36 centers have already been in care of nursing staff for several days, such as the four Toulouse University Hospital sites.

Others will settle during the week in communal rooms made available by the communes throughout the territory.

Bites that will be carried out by liberal health professionals, hospitals or even firefighters.

Each of them covers a population of 45,000 inhabitants and is less than 30 minutes from their home for each of them.

All volunteers will have the right to be vaccinated beforehand, an appointment to verify their eligibility, which they can make upstream with their attending physician who will provide them with a "certificate of eligibility for vaccination".
