A health defense council is organized at the Elysee Palace on Tuesday, two days after the first vaccinations in France against Covid-19.
In addition to the possibility of a third confinement, the communication strategy around the vaccine will occupy a good part of the discussions.
Appointment was made Tuesday at the Elysée Palace.
The executive meets during the day in defense council to discuss the latest developments in the health crisis.
In addition to the possibility of taking new, more restrictive measures in the face of the start of an epidemic rebound in certain regions, he will address the subject of vaccination.
The campaign starts slowly in France but the French are still suspicious.
So in the face of skepticism, the government favors small steps.

Coronavirus: follow the evolution of the situation Tuesday, December 29
At this stage, no major communication campaign, as other countries have been able to do.
First because the mass vaccination has not started, we explain to the government, then because the executive doubts its usefulness.
"A government spot saying 'the vaccine is great' will not convince people," said a ministerial adviser.
Policies will remain discreet
The executive hopes that those vaccinated will play a role of vaccine ambassadors.
It will also be the role of Alain Fischer, the government's “vaccine man”.
The immunologist has been prepared to intervene regularly in the media.
The politicians will have a very discreet place.
Olivier Véran himself should invest a minimum, if not to go cross swords with anti-vaccines.

As for Emmanuel Macron, he intends to encourage the French to have confidence.
He should also talk about it during his vows on December 31.
The Head of State knows it: without French membership and therefore without mass vaccination, the return to a more normal life will not be immediately.
