“There are problems with setting up vaccination centers”, concedes Véronique Hammerer, deputy La République en Marche for the 11th constituency of Gironde, guest of France Bleu Gironde on Monday February 8. Since a few weeks, several vaccination centers display complete, especially in rural areas. “We notice holes in the racket on health programming with the planning of doctors, especially in Saint-André-de-Cubzac where they have trouble coordinating”, she explains. “When you’re lucky enough to have multidisciplinary poles, like in Saint-Savin or Blaye, things get better right away.”
Other “hole in the racket” noted by the walking deputy, while the first caregivers of the Bordeaux University Hospital were vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine at the Haut-Lévêque hospital in Pessac this Sunday: vaccination of people aged 65 to 75. “AstraZeneca is not effective in this age range”, continue Véronique Hammerer. “Today, it is not a priority audience, yet there are people who come out of cancer or who have cardiovascular diseases, and who absolutely must be vaccinated.” The deputy from Gironde, however, wants to reassure, while the doses of Pfizer / BioNtech always arrive late: “I wouldn’t speak of a shortage. This delay slows down the vaccination but it will start again within eight days, so don’t worry.”
The river shuttle between Royan and Bordeaux still pending
On the river shuttle project between Royan, Blaye and Bordeaux, Véronique Hammerer wants to push a rant, while the Region is reluctant to give the green light to this new means of transport. “For me, the interest of the citizen is more important than the political policies”, she explains. A new consultation meeting took place a few days ago. “We had the favors of the State, but the metropolis, the community of communes of the Estuary were absent, the president of the region Alain Rousset was not there either. For me, it is a bit of a mockery of this territory. from Haute Gironde, which more than needs mobility, we’ve been talking about it for 30 years and nothing is happening. “
I take as long to travel from Bordeaux to Paris as to go from my home to Bordeaux, which is not normal.
“I hope that one day, this project will see the light of day”, said the member for Blayais. “Citizens must mobilize more, local elected officials too. The Region, which is competent in transport, must absolutely be with us.” Véronique Hammerer specifies that “the shuttle is one transport among others. I take as long to travel from Bordeaux to Paris as to go from my home to Bordeaux, this is not normal. So this river shuttle is a means rapid transport, which can be efficient, but there must be several communities to bear the cost of the investment and the operation “.
The member for the 11th constituency of Gironde also returned to the floods of last week, which also affected Guître and Sablons. According to her, the state of natural disaster, announced Friday by the Prime Minister visiting the Lot-et-Garonne, is “more than necessary”.
