Subjects included :
Closure of discos for 4 weeks
Upping of health protocols in schools including masks
Vaccination for children from 5 to 11 years
Over 65s can go to any centre for a rappel without a RDV ***
Care to be taken during fêtes etc
Working from home to be encouraged

*** I don't know how the sans RDV will work, and how they will be fitted in with those who have got an RDV. That said, no-one ever seems to turn up on time. The amount of vaccine ordered for each day is calculated on the number of RDVs expected so the ride could be a bit bumpy to start with ...

A lot of Uk centres do drop in vaccines, but I think on those days they don’t have pre booked appointments to work round

The other consideration is having enough staff available to give injections, accueil etc. If there's a sudden influx of people who haven't made an appointment, it will suddenly put a lot of pressure on some centres. It also depends on the practicalities of each centre, how easy it is to increase capacity etc.

The measures seem appropriate and sensible to me

Closing the discos and night clubs is going to f@ck up the apres-ski,but seeing I don't ski anymore who cares.

We took our neighbour with us ‘sans rdv’ to our pre booked booster appointments. Absolutely no problem at all.

I got my booster today at a one hour popup in the village. Looked like much more response than expected but they were well organised and coped well. Pompiers keeping it under control skillfully.
