The minister formalized this measure after having “had the favorable opinions of the health and scientific authorities”. So far, only the vaccination of 5-11 year olds at risk has been open since December 15.

100,000 contaminations per day by the end of the year
The High Authority for Health (HAS) had given the green light on Monday for the vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 – on a voluntary basis -, after the Ethics Committee (CCNE) on Friday. A final opinion was published Wednesday morning by the Orientation Council of the vaccine strategy.

Olivier Véran specified that this variant, which currently represents between 20% and 30% of contaminations in France, should become the majority between Christmas and New Year, with consequences on the number of new contaminations. These should reach 100,000 per day by the end of the year, warned the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.

“It is clear that with the situation, we must accelerate, strengthen teleworking (…). I ask companies to prepare now to reinforce teleworking at the start of the school year, therefore on January 3, with a target of three days minimum for positions which allow it, or even four days when possible “, declared the minister Wednesday morning on Europe 1.
