Two months having been announced by President Emmanuel Macron, the vaccine obligation against Covid-19 came into force, this Wednesday, September 15, 2021, for caregivers in France.

Otherwise, their employment contract will be suspended. What to think about this decision?

The only possibility to generalize the vaccine to those who are on the front line in the fight against Covid-19?

What consequences can we expect from work suspensions in a sector heavily affected by budget cuts in recent years?
