The actress and singer Line Renaud, 92, was vaccinated Monday against Covid-19 in Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine) where she lives, calling the vaccination an "act of collective solidarity", noted a journalist from AFP.
"I was reluctant. I had rather decided to wait. Faced with the scale of the epidemic, I decided to go there. And I am happy to have made the decision", declared Line Renaud, shortly after receiving the injection at the vaccination center in his town.
"What I can say to people who are still reluctant is that it is a matter of life for oneself and for others. It is an act of collective solidarity", added the singer, one of the most public figures. popular in France.
"I have immense confidence in science. We artists are conveyors of emotion. Researchers are conveyors of life. They all have my admiration," said Line Renaud.
Until then reserved for certain priority groups including nursing home residents or caregivers, vaccination is now accessible to those 75 and over who do not live in retirement homes (5 million people).
In addition, there are nearly 800,000 people with "high risk" pathologies (chronic renal failure, cancer under treatment, etc.).
To show the example, in addition to Line Renaud, seven French Nobel Prize winners must be vaccinated publicly during the day.
