Jean Castex will be vaccinated "very quickly" if the suspension of AstraZeneca is lifted, in order to show the French "that we can go there safely," he said on Tuesday evening on BFMTV.

"Until now, I had set myself a course of action, that is to say to be vaccinated when my turn comes, no privilege", declared the Prime Minister, 55 years old and who does not report “no known co-morbidity”.

"But taking into account what has just happened for AstraZeneca", which saw its vaccine suspended in a good part of Europe, "I actually said to myself that it would be wise for me to be vaccinated very quickly", he continued.

The delay in delivery of "abnormal" anti-Covid vaccines

Still on the subject of vaccination, Jean Castex estimated that the delay in the delivery of certain vaccines to France is “deeply abnormal”, considering that it was necessary “for Europe to show its teeth”.

"Let these laboratories be said:" You must respect the contractual commitments "", urged the Prime Minister who however affirmed that, if the AstraZeneca vaccine was again authorized in France, the objective of 10 million vaccinated in April 15 was “achievable”.
