Believing that France's vaccination strategy against the coronavirus is "a donkey's hat" in Europe, the president of deputies LR Damien Abad and deputy LR Eric Ciotti demanded, this Wednesday, the hearing in "emergency" of the Minister of Health Olivier Véran.

"Mass vaccination is the ultimate prospect of seeing our country emerge from the context of a health crisis deleterious for the economy," said the two deputies in a letter addressed to the president of the information mission on the management of the epidemic of Covid-19, LREM deputy Julien Borowczyk.

France "cannot be one of the last countries to be vaccinated"

However, “France today vaccinates 10,000 times slower than England, multiplying by four the vaccination times due to a pre-vaccination consultation, associated with a withdrawal period of 4 days which complicate and unnecessarily lengthen the campaign vaccine ”, underline the two elected officials.

France “cannot be one of the last countries to be vaccinated.

Yet it is this perspective which is emerging today and which is reminiscent of the failure of "testing, tracing, isolating", the economic and social consequences of which are harshly felt ", they judge.

Of "pedagogy" according to the government

"In these circumstances, we ask you to convene the fact-finding mission to hear the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the vaccination strategy adopted by France", conclude Damien Abad and Eric Ciotti, rapporteur for the mission of information.

Politicians of all stripes criticized Wednesday the slowness of the vaccination campaign in France, a strategy however assumed by the government which wants to take the time for "education" in a country where mistrust of vaccines is strong.
