France suspends 3000 unvaccinated health workers without pay—0.1% of 2.7 million healthcare workers.
Most suspensions “temporary—mostly personnel in support service, like in laundry/food.” 81% of French age 12+ are fully vaccinated
twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1438667...The health minister, Olivier Véran, said the staff had been notified in writing before the government-imposed deadline to have at least one dose.
Véran said “several dozen” had resigned rather than have the vaccine, but with an estimated 2.7 million health workers in France, “continued healthcare is assured”, he said.
In July the president, Emmanuel Macron, told staff at hospitals, retirement and care homes as well as those in the fire service they had until 15 September to be partially or fully vaccinated.
The French health authority, Santé Publique, estimates fewer than 12% of hospital staff and about 6% of doctors in private practice have not been vaccinated.
Currently just under 47 million French people aged 12 and over are fully vaccinated, representing 81.4% of the population; 86.1% have received at least one jab.
“A large number of these suspensions will be temporary,” Véran told RTL radio. “They involved mostly personnel in support service, like those working in laundry or food preparation.” He said very few doctors and nurses remained unvaccinated. “Many of them have decided to get vaccinated now the obligation to do so has become a reality,” he said.
