The delivery of coronavirus vaccines, stored in cardboard boxes filled with carbon dioxide, had been expected for months in France. 19,500 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arerrivées Saturday, December 26 at the central pharmacy of the hospitals of Paris from Belgium. Stored in super-freezers, the vaccines will be sent throughout the territory; a cold chain that is difficult to maintain. This race against time has already started: the first doses are about to arrive in nursing homes in the Paris region, others in Burgundy.
A convoy escorted by the national gendarmerie is heading in particular towards Dijon (Côte-d’Or). The departmental squadron leader of Côte-d’Or, Frédéric Lest, advances in particular “the risk of attempts to appropriate vaccines“. Saturday, December 26, several sites must be delivered, in the Lyon region (Rhône), Lille (North) and Tours (Indre-et-Loire). Certain doses will be injected to residents of the Geriatric Center of the Dijon hospital . “Six vials are expected here with around thirty doses of Covid-19 vaccine“, reports the journalist Valentin Chatelier, live from Dijon. Doses will then be sent to a nearby nursing home, administratively linked to the city’s university hospital. “Bourgogne-Franche-Comté was chosen because it is the region, for this second wave, the most affected by the Covid-19“, concludes the journalist.
