The booster dose of the coronavirus vaccine, compulsory for exercising from Sunday, under penalty of being suspended without pay, has been carried out by more than three quarters of caregivers.

Far from the demonstrations that preceded its entry into force in mid-September, the “reinforced” vaccination obligation announced before the Christmas holidays is being imposed smoothly among caregivers.

In hospitals and clinics, 68.2% have already received their booster dose, i.e. 76.9% of eligible employees – not taking into account those “recently infected” – according to the latest epidemiological update from Public Health France, stopped on Tuesday.

The staff of retirement homes (Ehpad) and long-term care services (USLD) do a little better, with 69.4% of vaccine reminders, or 77.8% of eligible caregivers.

Liberal professionals are the most advanced: 81.4% received their reminder, or 86.3% of eligible staff.

Those who have not yet completed their vaccination schedule will not automatically be suspended on Sunday.

The rule is indeed modeled on the vaccination pass, "namely the application of the maximum period of 7 months" since the last injection (first or second dose depending on the case), recalled the Ministry of Health in a note distributed at the beginning of January.

This period will be reduced to 4 months from February 15, except for people with a certificate of recovery from Covid-19, or a contraindication to vaccination.
