“So we did it for the first time on February 19, with five people who were transported from La Chapelaude, round trip, ”explains René Berthon, president of the Sporting Basket Club of Désertines. “I have elderly people around me who have a hard time getting vaccinated, so when we were asked to do so we immediately said yes », Relate-t-il.
“It was a very funny, friendly moment, where we talked a lot about the club and sport in general with the elderly. These will be the same ones that will be transported on March 22 for the second injection of vaccine. “

Ditto for François Brochet, the president of Montluçon Foot. “Except that we are going in Néris-les-Bains and Montluçon even in the neighborhoods, ”he explains. “On February 19, for the first dose, our seven minibuses were all requisitioned with drivers from the club, from 12:30 pm to 6:00 pm! “. Especially for people disabled or unable to move All alone.
For me too it was a great moment of exchange. It is logical that a club, that an association participate in this.
