political workhorse

Paris had opted for the constraint at the end of the summer of 2021: the obligation to be vaccinated was required from 2.7 million people, caregivers but also staff from hospitals and retirement homes, paramedics, home helpers or firefighters.

Failing to certify a complete vaccination schedule (two, then three doses), a few thousand have since been suspended, without remuneration. “A very minority or even marginal phenomenon” for the ministry, which estimated in March the proportion of hospital workers still concerned “around 0.3%”. Same tiny proportion on the Liberal side, where Medicare counted less than 2,000 suspended caregivers in mid-March.

The question of their reintegration had become a political battle horse, in particular for the National Rally and La France insoumise. The communist group put this reintegration on the agenda of its parliamentary niche on May 4. For the minister, “The best thing would be to withdraw the discussions on this project since, as they say, things will be done”.
