COVID vaccines mandatory for health care workers in France
Health Care workers in France will now be forced to get a coronavirus vaccine under President Macron’s new order
French President Emmanuel Macron ordered all French health care workers to get the vaccine by September 15 to fight resurgent infections that are threatening the country’s economic recovery.
In a televised address, Macron also mandated special COVID-19 passes for anyone who wants to go to a restaurant, shopping mall, or hospital or use public transport including the use of airlines.
How to get a COVID pass:
To get a pass, people must have proof they’re fully vaccinated, or recently recovered from the virus, or have taken a fresh negative virus test.
The delta variant is driving France’s virus infections back up again, just as the country kicked off summer vacation season after a long-awaited reopening. Some 40% of France’s population is fully inoculated.
“Get vaccinated!”
was the president’s overall message.
“More cases will come”
“The country is facing a strong resumption of the epidemic touching all our territory,” President Macron said.
The French President warned of a new wave of cases and potential hospitalisations and urgest the more people that are vaccinated, “the less space we leave this virus to circulate.”
But Macron stopped short of any new lockdown measures, saying “We have to learn to live with the virus.”
