Created with the help of two doctors from the Foch hospital in Suresnes, the new Covidlist service makes it possible to avoid wasting doses that doctors have not used by administering them to volunteers registered online at the end of the day.
And no need to be part of the priority audiences to benefit from it.
Fabrice, 48, is now vaccinated against Covid-19 ... while he is not one of the priority audiences for the moment.
"In fact, I have a friend who went to take X-rays because he had fallen on his wrist", he says, Monday on Europe 1. The doctor then tells his friend that he can vaccinate him because he has vaccine doses left.
"The doctor said to him, 'Tonight I have four doses left.'
It was 5:45 pm My friend called me too and since I could be there in five minutes… I came with my wife and we got the shot. "

A 35-year-old person without co-morbidities can register
It was at the Jean Verdier hospital in Bondy, in Seine-Saint-Denis, that this stroke of luck happened to Fabrice.
But in many places, doctors make their own volunteer lists so they don't waste any product when they have three or four doses left at the end of the day.
To try to reproduce these "lucky breaks", a service, Covidliste, now offers to register online in order to be alerted if there are still doses near home.
Created with the help of two doctors from the Foch hospital in Suresnes, in the Paris region, the site counted nearly 126,000 registered on Sunday evening.
All ages are accepted.
A 35-year-old person without comorbidities can therefore register.
You just have to be ready to run at the end of the day if there are still doses of vaccine lying around at the bottom of a vial.
The site aims only to achieve the goal of "no wasted dose".
All you have to do is enter your surname, first name, date of birth, address and telephone number.
After some doubts from Internet users about the processing of personal data, the site managers assured that the information indicated was indeed subject to the general data protection regulations.

"Call the vaccination centers saying 'I am available and willing'"
For the most skeptical, Fabrice slips a tip.
"In discussing afterwards with the doctor, she explained to me that it was enough to call the vaccination centers by saying 'I am available and voluntary if there are any doses left tonight'", he emphasizes.
At the national level, there is no official estimate of the doses of vaccine which do not find a taker.
But a Matignon adviser indicated a few weeks ago that 25 to 30% of the doses could be lost due to logistical problems.
This would not represent less than 50 to 60 million doses, out of the 200 million ordered by France.
