Where can you get vaccinated? Apart from nursing homes, medical centers for nursing staff and firefighters, the “general public” campaign begins on Monday, January 18. The first concern will be residents aged at least 75 (there are 27,000 people in Tarn-et-Garonne), then, a few weeks later, people 65 and over.
The mayors had until Tuesday to submit a formal application for the opening of a vaccination center in the department. And the white smoke did not take long to come out at the prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne.
Chantal Mauchet, prefect of Tarn-et-Garonne, will go to Nègrepelisse today to make public the list of six vaccination centers against Covid-19 in the department. Distributed throughout the country, they have been validated by prefectural decree and should allow, for the most part from Monday, January 18, to proceed with the vaccination of people over 75 years old.
Beyond the first three towns that had already opened their vaccination centers (Montauban, Moissac and Nègrepelisse), three other municipalities will be operational for the launch of this second stage of vaccination: this is Beaumont-Lomagne (room for festivals), Caussade (Medical Center, 4 place de la Gare) and Valence d’Agen (Halle Jean-Baylet).
Target 1,500 vaccinations on Sunday
For the cities having obtained the green light from the State, it is obviously a satisfaction. Jean-Luc Deprince, mayor and departmental councilor of the canton of Beaumont-de-Lomagne is the first to be happy. “This is recognition of our health policy and further proof of the effectiveness of elected officials in the field since the start of this health crisis. In my request, I highlighted the positioning of the State services geographical area of Beaumont-de-Lomagne. This choice will make it easier for all elderly people in Lomagne to travel. ”
The mayor of Valence-d’Agen, Jean-Michel Baylet, said yesterday evening, “very satisfied” with the opening of a vaccination center, in his town, from next Thursday, under the Jean-Baylet hall: “I want to thank the prefect and the director of the ARS for having granted my requests. Valence-d’Agen will live up to this major health issue thanks to the mobilization of everyone and in particular the medical world.”
In Tarn-et-Garonne, the latest assessment of the vaccination campaign reported Wednesday evening nearly 1,000 people vaccinated in the department According to health officials, the goal is to reach 1,500 vaccinated on Sunday.
But the pace will really accelerate from next week with the opening of new vaccination centers. The appointment booking methods will be available on the site www.sante.fr from today. Appointments by phone will be possible in the coming days.
