Nearly 83,000 injections

In all, nearly 83,000 doses will have been injected. A figure that the mayor carries as proof of municipal action in the area of ​​health. “There are still two vaccination centers in Thionville: Bel-Air hospital and Notre-Dame clinic and to date, 74% of Mosellans have been vaccinated. Today the municipality can no longer perpetuate the center which requires both resources and volunteers. “Jean-Christophe Hamelin-Boyer, assistant for health matters and director of the center, specifies:” Vaccination is possible with health professionals, whether they are pharmacists, doctors, so this center is no longer really necessary. ”

On a table, a few sheets are prepared, indicating that the Saint-Nicolas space will soon return to its primary activity, giving an appointment to seniors in the days to come. However, it is not excluded to conduct other operations of this type in the future or such as the Covid center installed in April 2020 in the Jean-Burger room. “We benefit from a citizens’ reserve created in 2017, continues Pierre Cuny. It now has 140 people and can be reactivated at any time. “For these volunteers, in any case, the time to take a break has come.

For Liselotte, in any case, the third dose took a surprising turn. At 83, this Thionvilloise saw her wait embellished with a bouquet of flowers symbolically saluting the 83,000e vaccination.
