The French government is set to open a Covid vaccination mega center in Disneyland Paris next month amid surging case numbers in the country. The amusement park is one of 35 “vaccinodromes” being opened throughout France in an effort to accelerate its vaccination roll-out, which has so far been among the slowest in Europe.
The site will be staffed by 40 local firefighters and nurses, who will administer the Pfizer vaccine to up to 1,000 people every day, according to Le Parisien. The theme park was set to reopen on 2 April but a third national lockdown announced earlier this month has put those plans on hold.
New cases have continued to climb since then, with more than 5,000 Covid-19 patients currently in intensive care. French President Emmanuel Macron is set to make another announcement on Wednesday evening, during which he is expected to unveil even stricter confinement measures.
