Guadeloupe: caregivers will have access to Covid-19 vaccines without messenger RNA – Franceinfo

The government is committed to providing vaccines against Covid-19 without messenger RNA to caregivers in Guadeloupe who so desire. This responds to one of the requests made by those who dispute the vaccination obligation, Overseas Minister Sébastien Lecornu reported on Tuesday, November 23. The vaccines available so far in Guadeloupe were “mainly vaccines” Pfizer-BioNtech, based on messenger RNA, said the Ministry of Overseas.

With caregivers, “We are also on a social dialogue between the employer, the Ministry of Health and Solidarity, and its employees, to find solutions”, Thus “we made a commitment last night to find other types of vaccines” for those who refuse messenger RNA vaccines, said Sébastien Lecornu on France 2. “For those who refuse to be vaccinated and prefer to abandon their quality of caregivers and are already asking for a professional retraining, we will support them and there we will need the regional council, so Ary Chalus [président du conseil régional de Guadeloupe] will be mobilized on these subjects“, added Sebastian Lecornu.

On Monday, Jean Castex announced the creation of a “dialogue instance” in order to “convince and support individually, humanely”, the professionals concerned by the vaccination obligation, in an attempt to calm the conflagration. For the Minister of Overseas, “there would be something scandalous in not applying the law of the Republic on the vaccination obligation of caregivers and firefighters in Guadeloupe”. According to him, 87% of caregivers and 43% of firefighters are vaccinated.
