I went to this Pharmacy to get the vaccine. I have to admit that I was very hurt and shocked when they told me that I needed a Visa to get vaccined, I am an europeann citizen and there is no need for Visa for europeans to live in France. The lady then shockingly said ' we need a proof of address because we have more foreigners than french' which to me was a shocking discrimination, as the virus has no nationality, and the fact that 'foreigners living in Paris are trying to adhere to the vaccinal campaign is something that french people should support and encourage. This statement somehow underlines not even too sublty that thet give priority to French vs 'foreigners', we are talking about a pharmacy located in the 1st arrondisment of a world capital, that shoudl be a location example of inclusivity. At the end we waited 4.5 hours, we brought all the documents we gave to the prefecture, the lady was then rolling her eyes as obviously she would have preferred we just didnt come back, throughout all the process I was always polite so there was absolutely no need to be rude. we paid 80 euros - this is maybe not the pharmacy's fault as its the standard cost for those who dont have the carte vitale (this takes 6-7 months to get, so I am still waiting for it). Another girl, more junior, in the staff was very polite and nice and at the end of the process I did thank her for...
Read moreMy experience was absolutely wonderful !
I came today at around 15 p.m to do a covid-19 test, the staff was welcoming and very gentle. Knowing that this was my first ever covid-19 test, I was terrified of the idea of having a long swab going all the way into my nose, I actually couldn't sleep last night because of this. But thankfully, there was a guy working at this pharmacy doing the tests that has helped me tremendously ! he was so caring and professional, I actually didn't feel anything, he helped me overcome my fear and forget about my stress. He did it so smoothly and was very gentle ! he even was telling jokes all along the test so that I wouldn't feel stressed.
So, to the guy that did the test for me, If you are reading this (which I doubt it unfortunately), thank you so much, and know that you are an angel
Read moreI needed my 3rd dosis and booked a rdv here. I arrived and they move me around from one part of the pharmacy to other and when I finally could speak properly with an employee they were very rude and told me that I needed to pay because I didn't have social security number (I had a dossier in the French system from the 2nd vaccine) and that my European health card and insurance was not enough (it was the previous time) and the system could reimburse me but that I needed to pay. That's not true, you can get vaccinated for free in the pharmacy without having to deal with this. At the end I left feeling mistreated because of my situation and they way I was talked. I could get my vaccine in another place without paying so if you are a foreigner pls don't come here. I couldnt...
