The Minister of Health and Prevention, François Braun, confirmed Friday December 9 on BFM-TV that “everyone can be vaccinated against flu and covid”. “Vaccination is not reserved for people at risk,” he said, adding that the latter had been a priority, but that now everyone could make a recall.
The Minister of Health recommends making these reminders “every six months. [There are special cases:] If you are more at risk, we can shorten this period at three months” on his doctor’s opinion .

Questioned about pharmacists who refuse to vaccinate patients who are not at risk, explaining that they are waiting for “DGS directives” (Directorate General of Health), the Minister of Health replied “that ‘They already have them “. “It’s formalized from the start,” he insisted.
m. Braun added that it was not very satisfied with the older vaccination rates – only 20 % of the over 80s received their recall dose. “It is insufficient, he deplored. We are going to have a stronger message vis-à-vis the directors of EHPAD.”
No obligation to carry the mask in transport
As for the wearing of the transport mask, particularly saturated in Ile-de-France, the Minister of Health said that he was not going to make him compulsory, but that he was desirable to Porter.
“In the state of the information I have on this epidemic recovery, I insist on the responsibility of our fellow citizens. We must take up the right gestures, the right reflexes. When we are in a confined place, We must resume the port of the mask. “Mr. Braun holds a press conference on Friday at 5 pm, which will be an opportunity to” show, explain, convince “the French on this subject, he said.
The port of the mask is no longer compulsory in public transport (metro, bus, train), planes, VTC and taxis, nor in French stations and airports since May 16. Thursday, Mr. Macron had given a mask during a trip to Vienne, believing that it was necessary to “regain habits” in the face of the ascent of the COVVI-19 epidemic, “on the basis of volunteering” . “Faced with the rise of the epidemic (…) I think it’s good to do pedagogy, because we do not want to return to generalized obligations necessarily”, had continued the chief of the State.
