Slight increase in activity at the Niort-Noron vaccination center before the new rules

The rules of the vaccine pass change from this Tuesday, February 15. For those aged 18 and over, your pass will indeed be deactivated if you have not made your booster dose against Covid-19 in a four month period, compared to seven months earlier. The validity of the certificate of reinstatement is also reduced to four months, compared to six previously. In addition, you should know that those who had the disease when they had already had two injections or an injection and an infection, are exempt from the booster dose, according to the principle “one infection = one injection”.

20,671 Deux-Sévriens are thus likely to lose their passor 7% of the department’s population. In Vienne, there are 26,163 peopleor 7.5% of the population according to the latest figures provided by the New Aquitaine Regional Health Agency.

200 appointments made this Monday in Niort-Noron

This Monday, 200 appointments were made at the Niort-Noron vaccination center. “We had a little resumption of activity, the schedules are almost full. After the rest of the week it’s calm. On the other days we cap at 60 appointments”details Charlotte Petipas, the coordinator of the center.

So no rush. Elvire Aronica, departmental director of the regional health agency in Deux-Sèvres insists on the importance of this reminder: “The latest studies which have been carried out, in particular in New Aquitaine, show that the patients currently hospitalized, whether in medicine or intensive care, are for the most part unvaccinated people or who do not have a complete vaccination schedule”she says while specifying that “the hospital system is still very saturated”.

And then new lifting of restrictions are expected this Wednesday, February 16, such as the reopening of nightclubs, the return of standing concerts and standing consumption in bars, at the cinema or in transport. “With a community life that regains its rights, we have all the more interest in being secure by vaccination and reminder but also not to forget the barrier gestures”insists Elvire Aronica.
