Question 33993 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

The particular context linked to the Covid-19 pandemic requires us to be particularly vigilant about vaccination against influenza, because it is a major axis of our strategy, especially since the populations at risk of severe form are essentially the same for these two conditions. The flu vaccination campaign was launched on October 13, 2020, and its start was much faster than in previous years. THE The delivery schedule for pre-ordered vaccine doses, increased by more than 30% of doses compared to the previous year, has been tightened, allowing city pharmacies to benefit from all of the vaccines ordered. Territorial monitoring of deliveries made by pharmacies has been set up in conjunction with the National Order of Pharmacists in order to monitor the situation and improve the distribution of deliveries across the territory. nationally when necessary. Taking into account this exceptional context, the State has acquired for the first time a stock of more than 2 million doses of influenza vaccines. The first doses of vaccines available from the State stock were intended for accommodation establishments for dependent elderly people who do not have a pharmacy for indoor use, and who have additional needs to complete the vaccination of their residents, and to increase vaccination coverage of professionals in contact with them. Subsequently, professionals from health establishments were prioritized. Finally, additional deliveries to community pharmacies made it possible to strengthen the vaccination coverage of target people. The adoption of all barrier gestures and compliance with recommendations on wearing a mask to prevent Covid-19 remains essential for the entire population because they also help prevent the spread of the influenza virus.
