The vaccination operation against the Coronavirus, targeting the category aged over 60, is still running in various penitentiaries, similar to the population living outside prisons, said the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration (DGAPR).
In a press release, the DGAPR noted that, until Wednesday, 77% of the targeted category within penitentiaries had been vaccinated, knowing that 0.8% of the targeted residents did not benefit from the vaccination operation for health reasons.
The operation concerned all residents of 60 prisons and some of the residents of 6 prisons, i.e. 85% of the total number of penitentiaries, pending the start of the vaccination operation in other establishments, in close coordination with the territorial and health authorities, added the same source.
The vaccination operation for inmates “takes place in a climate marked by the total commitment of the prisoners who have shown great cooperation with the medical staff, given their awareness of the importance of this vaccination to stem the spread of the coronavirus among detainees,” noted the DGAPR.
