A little more two months of closure and it is off again. The Strasbourg vaccinodrome, installed at the hotel of the European community of Alsace (CEA) will reopen its doors on Monday, December 20. Or two weeks before January 3, the date initially set.
It is “the context of a significant viral circulation in the department” which justified this advanced schedule, according to the prefecture of Bas-Rhin. The incidence rate has been rising sharply in recent weeks. Currently, 670 people per 100,000 inhabitants are positive for Covid-19 in the department, against a national average of 501 on December 9.
“As of December 11, in the Bas-Rhin, 63% of those over 65 have already had their vaccination booster, but 50-64 year-olds are only 30% to have done so while they are 70% more than five months from their last injection, ”wrote the prefecture in a press release.
