Rebelote for caregivers.
Without any obligation to submit to it, carers, firefighters, home helpers and other health and medico-social employees can now claim the second vaccination booster against Covid-19.
This decision by the Directorate General for Health (DGS) also applies to "employees in the health and medico-social sector, home helpers working with vulnerable people, medical transport professionals, as well as to firefighters", without criteria of age, state of health or "mode of exercise".
Possible “six months after the first reminder”, or three months after a possible infection that has occurred in the meantime, “this second reminder is open to professionals who wish it” and “does not fall within the scope of the vaccination obligation”, specifies the DGS, while the third dose has been required since January 30 for these same trades.
Expanded vaccination campaign
The government also maintained its refusal on Friday to reinstate the personnel suspended for non-compliance with this obligation, after several unfavorable opinions from the health authorities.
On the other hand, it has on several occasions extended the vaccine campaign for the fourth dose: initially reserved for the over 60s and the immunocompromised, it has also been open since last week to all adults “at risk of a severe form of Covid. », pregnant women and all those « living in the entourage » of these different audiences.
That is 17 million “eligible” people, not counting caregivers, for just over 4.8 million injections according to the ministry’s count, stopped on Sunday.
