Apart from his pharmacist, he no longer knows where to turn. Like him, 2,732,800 people over 75 have still not been vaccinated in France. This represents 42.7% of this population category.

The first targets all those who were already managing to find a vaccination appointment. And the second looks for those who are not yet vaccinated.
