Nursing staff who will not be vaccinated on September 15 will no longer be able to work and “will no longer be paid,” Olivier Véran announced on Monday.
"From September 15, if you are a caregiver and you are not vaccinated, you will no longer be able to work and you will no longer be paid," said the Minister of Health on LCI, after the announcement by the president Emmanuel Macron of an obligation of vaccination for this category of the population, with penalties.
Just over a million people to be vaccinated
Employers - regional health agencies, school management, health insurance - "will be empowered to carry out checks as already exists in common law for other diseases, in particular hepatitis B", detailed the minister.
He called on caregivers to be vaccinated "from tonight, from tomorrow", even if they still have a month.
Olivier Véran added that it was "a public of about 1.5 million people, health professionals, care, in hospitals, nursing homes, at home, firefighters ...".
