How will the vaccination against Covid-19 go for those aged 75 and over at the Athanor center in Montluçon (Allier)?

The first day of vaccination, this Monday, January 18

We greet you Marie, first person vaccinated against Covid-19 at the Athanor Center this Monday. This Montluçonnaise has indeed inaugurated the campaign dedicated to those aged 75 and over, or to those presenting risks to develop a severe form of the virus. Which is precisely his case:

I am 70 years old but I had a prescription to be vaccinated because I have a particular pathology.

After waiting in line, having a short interview with a doctor and checking in, she was the first to receive her injection. “The nurse was perfect, I had no pain », She says. “I really encourage everyone to do it, even those who don’t feel like it, because it’s a citizen gesture to help our country and even the world to get out of this impasse ”.

An opinion more than shared by Pierre, 80, who was the third to pass there. ” It needs to be done. I do not want to die, I would like to be 100 years old He smiles.

“As I’m not very good with computers, my neighbor made the appointment for me on the Internet. “

As for Jean-Claude (81 years old) and his wife Michelle (77 years old), domiciled in Lavault-Sainte-Anne, they have registered themselves on Doctolib. “When we see that there has already been two million dead in the world. It is the population of Paris! », They lament. “So if we do not take advantage of this open window, it is because we are not responsible people”. And to conclude:

Some criticize the fact that the vaccines are not French … What are they waiting for? A vaccine with a beret and a wand under your arm? It’s disappointing and worrying, we have to show good citizenship.
