Vaccination coverage in Greater Paris is among the highest in France. However, vaccination is not progressing everywhere at the same speed, and not all age groups are equally vaccinated. In the metropolis, we find the same pattern as almost everywhere in France: vaccination was opened to young people later, they are therefore proportionally less vaccinated than their elders. For their part, 65-74 year olds have passed 75 and over.
The detail by age group and municipality of Greater Paris, however, reveals enormous disparities depending on the city. While in the 6th arrondissement of the capital, the most vaccinated area in the metropolis, all age groups show vaccination coverage close to 85%, municipalities with lower median income, such as Saint-Denis, show more disparate figures . Thus, in this commune of 93, 72% of 55 to 64 year olds are vaccinated there, only 54% of 20 to 39 year olds have received their first dose. The trend is the same in towns like Bobigny or Clichy-sous-Bois.
A glass ceiling reached in several arrondissements?
Despite these encouraging figures for most of the districts of Paris, five of which are also the most vaccinated sectors of the metropolis, the pace of vaccination fell sharply from May 2021. If we consider the whole of Greater Paris , we see that the higher the vaccination coverage of a city or a sector, the more the vaccination rate of the latter slows down.
However, even the champion of the ranking, the VI arrondissement of Paris, therefore, displays a vaccination coverage of 76% which is peaking, since there is still a quarter of the population to whom a dose of vaccine against Covid-19 should be administered.
Conversely, the five least vaccinated municipalities in the metropolis all experienced their vaccination peak the week of August 1, with a number of vaccinations per 100,000 inhabitants which climbed to 4541. However, the vaccination peaks of these five municipalities remain largely below the level of those experienced in May by the five districts presented above.
Clichy vaccines more than the 6th arrondissement
Most municipalities in Greater Paris are following this dynamic, so much so that today, those less vaccinated continue to catch up with others who therefore encounter a kind of glass ceiling. Sometimes with impressive figures: Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, whose vaccination coverage stood at 43.7% at the end of the week of August 1, injected a dose of vaccine into more than 3% of its population In a week.
By way of comparison, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Rueil-Malmaison or even the 6th and 7th arrondissements of Paris recorded an increase of just 1 point, the lowest vaccination rate in the metropolis during the first week of August. The effect of vacations and summer on vaccination should not be underestimated, however.
