The number is symbolic, highlighted by the Regional Health Agency this Wednesday morning in a statement. More than a million people in the region have received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and more than 430,000 inhabitants are fully vaccinated after receiving their second dose. To date, the vaccination coverage rate in Center-Val de Loire is slightly higher than the national average, with nearly 40% for the first doses (38% nationally) and 17.9% for the second doses (17 , 8% nationally).
With regard to each department in Center-Val de Loire, we note that the Loiret is still behind in its vaccination coverage, with 35.7% of its first-vaccinated population, which is below the national average, “because the population of the department is particularly young and therefore not a priority” justifies the Regional Health Agency since the start of the campaign. Same justification for the Indre-et-Loire which has 39.5% of people having had at least one dose. Conversely, the Cher, Indre and Loir-et-Cher all exceed 43% of first-time vaccines. For Berry, we can even specify that more than one in four adults has now had a double dose.
140,000 doses available in Center-Val de Loire each week
The Regional Health Agency of Center-Val de Loire ensures that during the month of June, more than 140,000 doses will be available per week in the region’s vaccination centers, which are added to the doses that liberal professionals (doctor, pharmacist, nurse, midwife) will receive to vaccinate the population “in town”.
“Booking slots for the second half of June will be open soon specifies the Regional Health Agency, in each of the departments “. “Even if it will sometimes be necessary to be patient to obtain an appointment, all the people who wish to be vaccinated will be able to be it soon. In this regard, the vaccination is now open to all people 18 years of age and over”.
