The Minister Delegate in charge of Nursing Staff would have liked this legal provision to be maintained in order to be able to “react quickly” in the future in the event of a new wave.
“This law repeals the vaccination obligation. It is unacceptable”, estimated Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, Minister Delegate in charge of Territorial Organization and Health Professions, Saturday May 6 on franceinfo, after the adoption by the deputies of a bill repealing the obligation to vaccinate against Covid- 19 for caregivers. This text was voted on Thursday against the opinion of the government, which simply wanted the “to suspend”.

The Minister Delegate deplored that this repeal “will prevent” the hospital “to react quickly” in the event of a new pandemic. The Minister of Health, François Braun, also opposed a text which, according to him, goes “weaken our ability to respond” in the face of the Covid and which sends a “regrettable message”.
“The High Authority for Health has given an opinion, we must respect the law, it is democracy”assured Agnès Firmin Le Bodo. “We have to guarantee that things go well, that’s why the ministry took a little time before publishing this decree for the reintegration of nursing staff”, explained the minister. People working in the medical and paramedical sectors will be considered reinstated “the day after” publication of this decree, scheduled for May 14. The Minister wished to salute the “99% of caregivers who have been vaccinated, it is to them that we must pay tribute”.
