Jean-Christophe Hamelin-Boyer, Mr. Health of the City of Thionville and 5e assessor at the CAPFT, reveals the outlines of the mass vaccination project.
1. Determine vaccination sites
Four sites have been identified for rapid mass vaccination: two in Thionville, one in Yutz and one in Fontoy. These four sites allow the storage of vaccines at high negative temperatures, with super-freezers. “This is the question we all ask ourselves,” explains Jean-Christophe Hamelin-Boyer. What will be the choice of vaccine, and how should it be stored? If we are offered a vaccine that can be stored at -20 ° C, it is no longer the same problem. Conventional freezers are sufficient and we can open other vaccination sites. “
2. Assemble teams to vaccinate
The agglomeration will call on liberal professionals and Intercom Santé 57 volunteers. “We have already discussed this with them, and we are in the process of developing a plan,” continues the elected official. It is believed that doctors, nurses and pharmacists could take care of the second injection. “
3. Identify priority people
The primary health insurance fund has already identified people at risk, with chronic pathologies, and the elderly. Health professionals are also concerned. Of the 80,000 inhabitants of the territory of the agglomeration community, it is estimated that there are 20,000 to 25,000 priority people.
4. Be quickly operational
The big unknown is the date of this massive vaccination campaign, free and without appointment. “End of December, January, February? We do not have the answer but we will be ready, whatever the period ”, assures the Thionvillois.
