French President Emmanuel Macron has just announced that vaccination will be “compulsory” for “caregivers and non -caregivers of hospitals, clinics, retirement homes, establishments for people in disability, for all professionals or volunteers working in contact with fragile people, including at home”.
The French president set an ultimatum to these people before switching to the control. “The persons concerned will have until September 15 to be vaccinated and after this date will be implemented by checks and sanctions,” he added in a speech on television.
“We will surely have to ask ourselves the question of compulsory vaccination for the whole population,” says the president. But I make the choice of confidence and I call all French people to get vaccinated as soon as possible. 9 million doses await you. Having vaccinated yourself is the only way to protect yourself and protect others is what our freedom depends on everyone, “he added.
