The health situation continues to deteriorate rapidly in the Hérault. “We are faced with a very contagious variant, which affects rather young people who have not yet been vaccinated. Our department has the highest incidence rate in the Occitanie region”, underline the services of the Health Insurance Fund of Hérault in a press release.
Even if on July 29, 62.2% of Hérault residents had received a first dose and 52.4% of the Hérault population was fully protected with both doses, “we must all continue to act because the vaccination is effective against this variant”, notes the Health Insurance Fund. According to her, there is an urgent need to amplify the vaccination effort because “there is more than 70% protection against severe forms after the first dose and more than 90% after the second dose, regardless of the vaccine”.
Strongly committed to the fight against Covid-19, the Hérault health insurance has stepped up actions in favor of vaccination. In particular, she made 14,000 telephone calls to at-risk populations, made it possible to make vaccination appointments for nearly 2,000 people over 75 years of age who could not obtain one, she participates in all vaccibus actions for get as close as possible to the population… And since last week, a new telephone campaign aimed at people without an attending physician and with co-morbidities has been carried out by the Regional Directorate of the Medical Service of Health Insurance (DRSM).
