At the end of April, the President of the Republic opened the door to the reintegration of non-vaccinated caregivers. But this return, due to law obstacles, cannot be made quickly.

“When we are no longer in the acute phase [of the epidemic], we will do it.” Understand: we will reintegrate them. On April 29, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, re -watched the door to non -vaccinated caregivers, put in hospitals in September 2021. Two weeks later, it was the turn of Olivier Véran to evoke a seizure of the High Authority for Health (HAS) about them. Two arguments circulate for their reintegration: the descending phase of the epidemic (around 22,000 new cases on May 21), and the need for arms in a hospital in need of caregivers.
“We cannot do without the 15,000 people suspended, even if they made a mistake, thus declared on May 17 the president of the association of Hospital Urgentist doctors of France, Patrick Pelloux, at the Parisian . It takes an amnesty.” A doubt remains on their number. And their reintegration will require more than a HAS opinion. 2> 43 out of 16,010 in Toulouse
In mid-October 2021, the Ministry of Health had advanced the percentage of 0.6 % suspension of the 2.7 million health professionals subject to compulsory vaccination.

In Public Assistance-Hôpitaux de Marseille, 17 suspensions remain today on the 12,000 agents (compared to 57 at the highest). At the Toulouse University Hospital Center, there are 43 out of 16,010. In Roubaix, 8 people are affected on the 3,300 employees by the hospital center. For the bichat hospital in Paris , they do not exceed twenty. Figures that mix caregivers and administrative staff, and which do not take into account people on work stoppages since the obligation.
According to the lifts of the establishments of the French Hospital Federation (FHF), which does not have specific figures either, the phenomenon of suspensions remains “very marginal”, according to its president Frédéric Valletoux. His counterpart Maxime Morin, medical affairs referent at the National Conference of Directors of Hospital Centers, shares this observation. “These are isolated cases, he explains. The impact on our services is rather low in view of our other recruitment problems.”
a long legal journey in view
The obligation of vaccination, Frédéric Valletoux considers it necessary to maintain it: “It is a question of principle, it would give a very bad example to those who did not want it but were vaccinated to respect the rule.”
