After the vaccinodrome on Île du Ramier, a second large vaccination center will it open in Colomiers? In any case, this is what the Columérine municipality wants. “The City of Colomiers is a candidate for hosting a vaccinodrome on its territory,” announced Karine Traval-Michelet, the mayor of the town and 2nd vice-president of Toulouse Métropole, this Friday, April 30, 2021. During a visit to the vaccination center of Colomiers, Arnaud Simion, first deputy delegate to the Solidarities, made the request to the chief of staff of the prefect of Haute-Garonne, Etienne Guyot. “As the second city of the department, located in the first ring of the urban area and well connected to the transport network, we could logically welcome this large-scale system“, estimates Karine Traval-Michelet.
With this proposal, the city wants to “support the campaign more broadly vaccination “. Arnaud Simion also recalls that” the Colomiers site was the first Covid-19 consultation center opened on March 18, 2020 in France, as part of a partnership between the town hall of Colomiers and the Professional Community Territoriale de Santé (CPTS) “.” Its model was then multiplied throughout France, “said the first deputy delegate to Solidarity. As of January 18, 2021, the site was converted into a vaccination center. For Arnaud Simion, it demonstrates “since all the effectiveness and the necessity of such a proximity device”.

Currently, 150 patients are vaccinated every day in the Colomiers vaccination center open Monday to Saturday. This new vaccinodrome would allow three times more vaccine doses to be administered. The town of Colomiers actually considers that it can “vaccinate around 500 people per day“. In comparison, in the large center of Toulouse, located in hall 8 of the Parc des Expositions on the Ile du Ramier and open 7 days a week, a little more than 2,000 doses are injected daily. For its vaccination center, the town hall columerin a mobilized five municipal officers daily on site, alongside the medical team: two administrative officers for patient reception and appointment scheduling and two logisticians to support the on-site teams and receive vaccines, and a concierge. A guard, from a private company, secures the site during opening hours.
