Some health professionals have preferred to return their gowns than to submit to the compulsory vaccination. This is the case of Emmanuel, employee of an Ehpad in Bordeaux, Gironde, who decided to resign rather than be vaccinated.
Since this Wednesday, September 15, vaccination is compulsory for caregivers. But hospitals, and particularly nursing homes, which are already short of staff, fear that they will not be able to cope with a wave of departures.
At the national level, the consequences should be less important. According to Public Health France at the beginning of the week, 90% of health professionals were vaccinated in nursing homes.
