The debate on compulsory vaccination or not will continue to fuel this week of July, while cases are rising in France.
Prime Minister Jean Castex must consult this Thursday in video with associations of elected officials about the compulsory vaccination of caregivers against the coronavirus, before a possible bill that could be examined at the end of July in Parliament, we have learned from ministerial sources.
The Prime Minister's videoconference with associations of local elected officials is scheduled for 4.30 p.m. Thursday, according to Matignon.
If a consensus emerges about the obligation to vaccinate caregivers, “one of the working options is a bill next week in the Council of Ministers and at the end of July in Parliament by postponing the end of the session.
Nothing is fixed yet, but it is not excluded ”, indicates a parliamentary source.
Strengthen isolation of patients
Last Thursday, Jean Castex asked by mail associations of elected officials and presidents of parliamentary groups to obtain their opinion on the compulsory vaccination of caregivers.
He also invited them to work on "extending the scope of the health pass" and "mechanisms to encourage vaccination".
Finally, "the question of strengthening the isolation obligations for people affected by the disease", with the possibility of sanctions, "seems to me to be rediscussed", underlined Jean Castex in this letter.
Compulsory vaccination of caregivers is a "serious possibility", said government spokesman Gabriel Attal on Monday morning on France Inter.
If the measure is decided, it would be necessary "to pass by the law", "it is possible that the text is presented before the end of the parliamentary session, at the end of July".
