The date of September 15 for the compulsory vaccination of caregivers is approaching. The paramedics, also concerned, have not all taken the plunge.
According to a survey conducted at the end of August by the National Federation of Health Mobility (FNMS), “13% of the profession would not be vaccinated and would not wish to be”, indicates its president Thierry Schifano, specifying having received responses from 242 companies employing more than 6,900 people – out of a total of around 60,000 in the sector.
A more than worrying result, because if it is confirmed in the facts, “we risk having real difficulties, with a break in the patient care path and an increase in ambulance deficiency”, that is to say – to say refusals of interventions on behalf of Samu, he predicts.
