Laurent Touvet did not choose by chance the vaccination center of the Bel-Air hospital in Thionville to announce the intensification of the vaccination campaign in Moselle. The Moselle centers have indeed opened this weekend to administer the 2,000 emergency doses brought by Olivier Véran. And they did not take long to find buyers. “At the Mercy hospital, we opened the reservation on Friday evening and, Saturday at 11 am, there were two places left,” says Marie-Odile Saillard, director of CHR Metz-Thionville. But after ? The prefect did not want to advance on the surplus granted to the Moselle. “A different distribution of vaccines is being organized at the national level. But it is too early to tell because it also means that it is being withdrawn elsewhere. Marie-Odile Saillard was more precise. While the Moselle is currently equipped with 10,000 doses per week, it hopes at least 3,000 more per week from February 22. This implies the reorganization of vaccine centers. “We are going to expand the time slots of the existing ten and open two new ones, this time municipal,” announces the prefect. Among them: that of the municipal theater of Thionville, which could open the 1 is March and vaccinate 600 people per day. Currently, 35,000 Mosellans (over 75s, frail people or caregivers) have received the first dose and 10,000 the second. Or 3.5% of the population.

The Marseille firefighters will deploy their technique for sampling and analyzing wastewater from Monday. “It makes it possible to detect the virus early and to map the areas affected by a high viral load. These will then be massively tested, ”explains the Prefect.
