On the one hand, those who praise collective immunity; on the other, those who doubt the anti-Covid serums offered. Even the body of caregivers reflects the oppositions that exist within the population about vaccination. However, Jean Castex plans to no longer give them the choice.
There is no doubt that vaccination divides the French population, particularly in Guadeloupe: there are pros and cons.
The state advocates its massive recourse, in order to achieve collective immunity within the country, but is faced with the sling of suspicious people, who do not trust this anti-Covid-19 serum.
Among the latter, there are several health workers who, perhaps, will no longer have a choice, since the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, would consider drafting a law to make the vaccination of caregivers mandatory, according to a government source. from Agence France Presse (AFP). A broad consultation will be launched for this purpose.
A project experienced as pressure by some
Over time, the strong incentives for vaccination by the state turn into an obligation.
Anxious to achieve the goal of 80% of vaccinated, by September, the executive has issued this idea to force, as a first step, the staff of the Accommodation for the dependent elderly (EHPAD) and hospitals.
The High Authority for Health leans in favor of this option, if the vaccination coverage of health professionals does not progress rapidly, while considering that “incentive and conviction are the most relevant approaches“.
Another favorable opinion to this initiative: that of the Hospital Federation of France, which said it was in favor of “compulsory vaccination for healthcare professionals and all those in contact with patients“.
Caregivers who refuse to be vaccinated speak of pressure, which generates stress and anxiety.
Soumiaa Sayah, liberal nurse in Guadeloupe, recalls that doubts remain, as to the side effects of the vaccines offered by the various laboratories, against Covid-19:
Other nursing staff opposed to the obligation of vaccination: Jade Nannette, nurse in the diabetology-endocrinology department of the Guadeloupe University Hospital Center (CHUG), is determined not to let it go. She categorically refuses to be vaccinated and intends to ensure that her free choice is respected:
A logical decision for others
And then there are the Pros. Those who have already been vaccinated, because they believe that the most important thing is to achieve collective immunity, to get out of the nightmare into which the coronavirus plunged us, almost 16 months ago.
Among them, let us quote Dr. Dominique Charpentier, ophthalmologist in Guadeloupe, who advises his patients to accept the two injections offered … as other vaccines have been previously recommended, or even imposed:
Although the indicators of the Covid-19 epidemic are declining, in France as in Guadeloupe, the authorities fear a new wave, due to the presence of the Delta (Indian) variant, in the territory.
