My experience differed somewhat.
I checked on doctolib and discovered I could make appointments for both injections, but the nearest and earliest was at the hospital of Magnac-Laval. I had to download and complete a questionnaire (on Hopital Intercommunal du Haut-Limousin headed paper) answreing questions on co-morbidities, health history, medications taken etc.
I turned about 30 minutes early on the appointed day. There were 4 other people in the waiting area. A doctor with a clipboard appeared after about five minutes and checked that we all had appointments and we were ushered in and made to sit at a table and fill in a questionnaire - far less detailed than the one I had already completed. I handed my original questionnaire and and teh doc threw it in the bin, and asked me to fill in the new form. There were 6 questions: name, CV number, have you had Covid? Have you been in contact with anyone with Cpovid symptoms in the last 3 weeks? are you pregnant? are you breastfeeding? I think I got the answers right.
Then into the injection room. Left or right arm? was the only question and pouf! all done.
The obligatory 15-minute sit-down followed (in case of a severe reaction) and I was sent on my way with an attestation de vaccination.
But... no temp check
No ID check
No allergy questions
The injection site was painless at first but was a bit tender the next day. I used it as an excuse to stop digging the garden
I'm looking forward to part 2 in 4 weeks...
