Vaccination has had good results. As Jean Castex reminded us, the fourth wave is under control with a falling incidence rate (currently at 184.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants). "There isa link between the incidence rate and the vaccination rate," said the Prime Minister, explaining that"weare not very far from a return to a life close to normal", not wishing"to be more precise" on the date,"because it depends on the adherence of the population to vaccination, respect for the barrier gestures..."
Jean Castex thus defended the government's vaccination policy, refusing to make vaccination mandatory for all: "We must convince, explain. We must not judge, stigmatize, we must go about it in a calm, determined, pedagogical way, saying that it is really in the interest of people and their entourage.We can have a benign form of the disease, we do not know", argues the Prime Minister, while 65% of the French population is fully vaccinated, and nearly 72% has received at least one dose.
As for the case of health professions and professions in contact with a large number of people, their vaccination is mandatory to exercise, in order not to create chains of contamination. In this regard, "I am very pleased with the vaccination of caregivers, because it has greatly improved", commented Jean Castex.
Moreover, while the number of covid-19 contaminations continues to decrease in France, Professor Alain Fischer assured BFMTV on August 30 that there will be no more containment, "except for a new variant".
