President Emmanuel Macron also said that by next month, health passports will be needed to show up to enter places such as shops, cafes, cinemas and trains for long trips.
I'm aware of what I'm asking you and I know you're ready for this commitment. This is, in some way, part of your sense of duty”, Macro said on Monday in a televised speech.
Compulsible vaccines will apply to anyone with sensitive contact and thus include all those working in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, regardless of their role.
France's Health Minister Olivier Verren told LCI television that health staff should be vaccinated by September 15th or risk not paying, the BBC writes.
