Compulsory vaccination of medical professions. Demonstration in Paris
On August 14, on the eve of the entry into force of the vaccination obligation, medical professionals demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Health in Paris and in front of regional public health agencies (ARS), including in Toulouse and Lyon, and in front of the university hospital in Rennes, the AFP agency reports.
In early August, the head of the federation of French hospitals, Frederic Valletoux, said in an interview with the “Journal du Dimanche” that vaccination against COVID-19 should be mandatory for everyone, because the pandemic proved that “there are limits to what can be achieved by taking half measures”.

In an interview published on August 1, Valletoux said a sanitary passport was not enough to contain the spread of the pandemic, and that France should “pioneer the global movement” by introducing a vaccination mandate. In his opinion, a sanitary passport is not enough to contain the spread of the pandemic, and France should “become a pioneer of the world movement” by introducing a vaccination order. Compulsory vaccinations “is a simple, clear and effective solution, while the implementation of the sanitary passport is extremely complicated” – he assessed.
