December 31 also marks the end of tolerance for caregivers in Martinique and Guadeloupe. They have until midnight to be vaccinated, otherwise they risk suspension. Listening platforms are set up and offer retraining to the most recalcitrant.
Until the end, caregivers and firefighters demonstrated in Martinique to obtain a reprieve, facing the obligation to be vaccinated to exercise their profession. In recent days, in the streets of Fort-de-France, they were 300 to denounce this showdown. “We are holding on and we hope that the fight we have started will be successful”, says Nadia Henri, midwife at CHU Trinité.
Hesitations which put the establishments under pressure. Of the 80 employees of a nursing home, 20 refuse to be vaccinated and are on probation. Their management received the formal notices, sent by the Regional Health Agency. To avoid as many departures as possible, a series of interviews is carried out with refractory staff to try to convince them. In a context of tense health crisis, one in ten caregivers in the West Indies are still not vaccinated.
