Two patients from the Champmaillot nursing home and a professor in geriatrics from the Dijon University Hospital received the vaccine against the coronavirus this Sunday. The vaccination campaign has only just started and phase 1 will last for several weeks.
During this first phase, they are nursing home residents and professionals who are at risk of developing a serious form of the disease and who work in establishments which accommodate elderly people who will be vaccinated as a priority.

After the symbolic launch of the vaccination campaign in Dijon, around twenty voluntary establishments of the 450 that the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region will administer vaccines from the beginning of January specifies the Regional Health Agency (ARS). The coronavirus vaccine requires a second dose 21 days after the first injection.
