About 3,000 French nationals working in the medical and care sector have been suspended from work for deciding not to get vaccinated against the CCP virus before a government-imposed deadline, France’s Minister of Health announced on Sept. 16.
Two months ago, President Emanuel Macron ordered hospital staff, ambulance technicians, nursing home workers, doctors, fire brigade members, and people caring for the elderly or infirm in their homes—some 2.6 million employees in total—to get a COVID-19 vaccine by Sept. 15.
