“A worrying ignition delay” for the mayor of Niort Jérôme Baloge

While the first injections are expected this week in three Ehpads in Deux-Sèvres, the mayor of Niort Jérôme Baloge lamented on Monday “the worrying ignition delay” of the French vaccination campaign.

“I hope that the state and regional health agencies will recover quickly”

“We received a super-refrigerator at the Niort hospital center, but like elsewhere in France, the vaccination seems to follow a complex and very slow protocol (…) the method seems very complicated“, declared the elected member of the Radical Movement.

According to the mayor of Niort, it would have been necessary to draw inspiration from the vaccination centers set up in 2009 for the H1N1 flu. “The methods were perhaps too fast at the time but they had the merit of working”.

“We understand that the most affected departments are priority because more affected than we are, nevertheless there is an organizational issue and we do not see the variation on the ground today”.

Like the 200 mayors who undertake to be vaccinated to set an example, Jérôme Baloge is also ready to extend his arm, even if the elected 47-year-old is not “in a priority audience, of course I will”, he assures.

“We are facing an epidemic which is destroying our economy and we would like not to be vaccinated in the country of Pasteur?”

Faced with generalized mistrust, Jérôme Baloge wants to believe that “this vaccine is expected” by a majority of Deux-Sévriens. The chosen one recalls in passing some obvious facts, “medicine is there to cure” and vaccines “to prevent diseases from developing, so of course you have to go!”
