The COVID-19 vaccination requirement for healthcare personnel will come into effect starting Wednesday in France, a measure affecting 2.7 million people, though a minority remains strongly opposed to it.
Hospitals, nursing homes, private healthcare providers, home care aides, firefighters, paramedics: to continue practicing, all healthcare professionals are required to have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine by Wednesday, September 15.
The COVID-19 epidemic continues to affect France, where 94 people died from the virus this Tuesday, according to the report from Public Health France.
