Prime Minister Jean Castex announced Thursday that 10 million French people have now received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

This Friday, Europe 1 decrypts how the rate should increase in the coming months, to reach up to 45% of first-time vaccines by mid-June.

DECRYPTION

Since Thursday, France has crossed the mark of 10 million people who have received a first injection of a vaccine against Covid-19.

Prime Minister Jean Castex thus congratulated himself on having "a week ahead" of the government's objective.

The latter now plans to vaccinate 20 million people in mid-May, then 30 million in mid-June.

To achieve these objectives, it will nevertheless be necessary to continue on the path of increasing the capacity for vaccination.

More than double the doses of anti-Covid vaccines to be received in June

This is expected to be the case thanks to the increase in vaccine deliveries.

By adding the doses of the three current vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca) and those of the vaccine from Janssen, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which will arrive in ten days, France should thus receive 15 million doses in total in May and 28 million in June.

This last quantity represents more than double the deliveries for the month of March for France.

Deliveries assured, it is on the logistics side that everything should now be played out.

To meet the new target of 20 million French people vaccinated on May 15, 250,000 doses will have to be injected per day in the coming month, including Saturdays.

A priori, it seems quite playable insofar as this level is already exceeded for more than half of the week currently.

From mid-May, France will normally have the doses to vaccinate 330,000 French people per day, mainly in centers equipped with super-freezers.

Because the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, which must be stored at low temperatures, especially for the latter, will then represent two thirds of deliveries.

If the laboratories keep their commitments, 45% of the French population could therefore have received a first injection in mid-June.
