The president of the deputies LR Damien Abad and the deputy of the same group Eric Ciotti request the hearing in "urgency" of the Minister of Health Olivier Véran on the strategy of vaccination of France which, in their eyes, is "figure of cup of 'donkey' in Europe.

However, “France now vaccinates 10,000 times slower than England, multiplying by four the times of vaccination due to a pre-vaccination consultation, associated with a withdrawal period of 4 days which complicate and unnecessarily lengthen the vaccination campaign ”, underline the two elected officials.
The time of "pedagogy"
France “cannot be one of the last countries to be vaccinated.
Yet it is this perspective that is emerging today and which is reminiscent of the failure of
testing, tracing, isolating
, the economic and social consequences of which are harshly felt ”, they judge.
"In these circumstances, we ask you to convene the fact-finding mission to hear the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the vaccination strategy adopted by France", conclude Abad and Ciotti, rapporteur of the fact-finding mission.
Politicians of all stripes criticized Wednesday the slowness of the vaccination campaign in France, a strategy however assumed by the government which wants to take the time for "education" in a country where mistrust of vaccines is strong.
