Anne Hidalgo wants to "unleash" vaccination to "open it to all" those who wish, especially among teachers, police officers and workers "on the front line", said the mayor PS of Paris, this Sunday, during a interview with Europe1 / CNews / Les Echos.

“To make the vaccination more effective, I suggest that we unleash the vaccination.

That all those and those who want can do it ”, she affirmed.

The city of Paris "ready to organize" this process

"We must of course take into account the medical history" and "vaccinate the over 75s" who "must be a priority", but "we must open to all the others," she explained.

Anne Hidalgo, potential leftist candidate for the 2022 presidential election, thus pleaded for "the vaccination of all those who work in connection with children".

But “in Seine-Saint-Denis and in the working-class districts of Paris, it is the front lines, those who work in supermarkets, in our public services, our agents who clean the streets, the police [...] who must be able to benefit from the vaccine as well, ”she said.

“We are told the doses are there.

I have no reason to doubt this official word.

Let’s not be caught off guard, let’s organize vaccination centers that can accommodate all French people very massively, ”she added, saying that she was“ ready to organize ”this process.

"No country has yet the capacity to vaccinate its entire population"

Invited to comment on Anne Hidalgo's remarks, government spokesperson Gabriel Attal explained on BFMTV that "what currently restricts vaccination in France and around the world is the number of doses".

Gabriel Attal in passing reiterated the objective of having vaccinated 10 million French people in mid-April, 20 million in mid-May and 30 million in mid-June.

"No country yet has the capacity to vaccinate its entire population," he insisted, again advocating the strategy of prioritizing the vaccination of the population groups most vulnerable to Covid-19.

Open patent access to speed up vaccination

For his part, the leader of France rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposed on France inter to "increase access to the vaccine" by putting it "in free access, in free license", which would "produce more".

"For the school, I suggest that we vaccinate all the staff," on a voluntary basis, he added.

Asked about franceinfo, the LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Alexis Corbière had previously estimated that "we must not only have the criterion of the age of the inhabitants, but also take into account the fact that the inhabitants of my department are also these first of chore, who will work, those who move "and" take this into account "in the vaccination.

The secretary general of the CFDT Laurent Berger, for his part, told the RTL-LCI-Le Figaro Grand Jury that employees "most exposed" to Covid-19, such as those in mass distribution or teachers, should be "a priority for the vaccination ".
