"When this large vaccination center will open, we are proposing to the Prime Minister, because our two communities are very involved in the opening of this center, to go even further and deploy a vaccination strategy specific for front-line professionals, ”explains the department chairman.

The latter also recalls that Jean Castex had "welcomed" during a visit to Saint-Denis, "initiatives" intended to provide vaccination to "the most vulnerable groups with a dedicated center".

"The current targets eligible for vaccination do not appear to us to be sufficiently suited to the youth and professions of Seine-Saint-Denis," he continues.

"The dose allocations for the month of April for the Stade de France can make it possible to accommodate early childhood professionals and schools who wish to be vaccinated. If we do not do so now, during these three or four weeks of closing of nurseries, schools, colleges and high schools, (we will have) every chance of reopening them from April 26. "
