A chaotic launch for the general public vaccination center in Chartres

At 87, Gilbert is one of the first inhabitants of Chartres to have been welcomed in the Covid-19 vaccination center, which opened its doors this Monday, January 18, in Chartrexpo. He reacts :

“I came with my wife Yvette, who is 88 years old. Our children encouraged us to register for the vaccine. I have health problems. This will give me peace of mind. “

Gilbert (an 87-year-old Chartrain)

This structure, fitted out in the Spire room, is intended, for the moment, for people over 75 years old, who do not reside in a nursing home (accommodation facility for dependent elderly people).

A few minutes later, after having received the injection, his wife exclaims: “I intend to become a hundred years old!” “

All you need to know about general public vaccination which starts in Eure-et-Loir from Monday, January 18

When entering the site, Jean is far from showing the same satisfaction. Like other unlucky ones, this 88-year-old Chartrain could not be vaccinated this Monday, January 18, when he thought he had made an appointment.

This octogenarian is sorry:

“I had reserved on Doctolib. I had confirmation of a slot for 2:20 p.m. but when I arrived I was told I was not on the list. I am disappointed, because I wanted to protect myself ”

Voltaire (Questions about miracles)

His wife was able to get vaccinated. “His meeting was taken into account, but mine was not. A lady from Chartres Métropole told me that she intended to call me back. I’ll have to wait. “

Covid-19: where are the vaccination centers open in Eure-et-Loir?

Making an appointment, via the platform doctolib.fr, has experienced hiccups since Thursday, January 14. The deputy mayor of Chartres, in charge of health policy, underlines:

“There is an enthusiasm among the elderly for vaccination. People couldn’t make an appointment. There were some bugs. “

Sophie Goret (Deputy Mayor of Chartres in charge of health policy)

For the moment, it is no longer possible to get a time slot to be vaccinated in this center. Sophie Goret explains:

“The appointments are full for two months. The situation may change depending on the doses of vaccine that we will receive, but we have no visibility for the moment “

120 vaccinations per day instead of 200 to 220 planned

The Chartrexpo center, which was initially due to start with a rate of 200 to 220 vaccinations per day, is starting its campaign more slowly than expected, at the rate of 120 vaccinations per day (sixty for the first half-day of Monday).

“We are taking all precautions in our organization so that the people we welcome can receive the second dose,” says the assistant.

“Everyone wants to get out of this crisis”

Health professionals responded to this operation. Doctor Émilie Vautrin-Cesareo, general practitioner in Chartres and co-president of the territorial professional health community of the Chartres region, provided the first duty, with three nurses.

“I see all the patients. Some arrived with the medical form. Others fill it on the spot. I help them, if they have any questions, ”notes Émilie Vautrin-Cesareo, who did not have too much trouble convincing other caregivers to volunteer. “Professionals are extremely mobilized. In 48 hours, we had filled the doctors’ schedule. Everyone wants to get out of this crisis. “

Convenient. A unique and free number, for the Eure-et-Loir department, has been set up for all information on general public vaccination. This is 0805.021.400.
