According to the SNPI, “HAS’ primary mission is to improve the quality of care and patient safety, not to play politics”. The union therefore considers that the opinion of the HAS issued on Thursday “damages credibility and independence”. In its press release, the union hopes that “the obligation to vaccinate caregivers once morest Covid-19” either “maintained” and even talks regarding“ethical imperative”.

The SNPI, opposed to this end of compulsory vaccination, adds that“As healthcare professionals, caregivers have a duty to their patients to do everything in their power to protect them once morest disease and infection. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent transmission of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.”
