“Only vaccination against Covid-19 will be able to get us out of the health crisis,” said the mayor of Nancy Mathieu Klein on Monday, April 12, 2021, at the opening of the city council.
However, if the City says it is there, like other local institutions, the government is not. In any case, this is what the chosen one thinks.
We sing it morning, noon and night: there is only one solution, and that is vaccination. However, as we speak, and I say this without the slightest enthusiasm, none of the promises made by the government, in particular concerning the time of vaccination in relation to age groups, will be kept in reality. Because, in reality, the account is not there!
Doses that don’t arrive
Supporting evidence, while the State announces the opening to vaccination to new age groups, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, to vaccinate people over 60 years of age on May 15, it would take 80,000 extra doses!
To vaccinate people over 60 on May 15, and today accelerate the vaccination of people over 55, additional doses must be delivered to France and particularly to Meurthe-et-Moselle. To meet these objectives, that is to say that all over 60 years are vaccinated by May 15, we need 80,000 doses!
Slowdowns = additional days of confinement?
Worse still, Mathieu Klein affirms that “we are even seeing slowdowns despite the commitments made. While there should be more doses in May, it will ultimately not be. An announcement that had already aroused the anger of liberal health professionals, and at a demonstration in Nancy.
I realize that these are not just political decisions but delays in production. However, we need to be able to speed up vaccination. We are told an upcoming delivery of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but we have no visibility. We do not know if it will be present and delivered in Meurthe-et-Moselle.
The elected official, who fears that these many slowdowns will turn into “additional days of confinement, which would be unbearable”, reveals that we can observe “a very strong feeling of weariness on the ground”.
For this reason, he calls on the government to act, and quickly.
