Less than 0.1% of French population has taken "swine flu" jab so far, admits French Health Minister

News - Latest News


The French Health Minister, Roselyne Bachelot, has indicated today, Thursday, that so far only 50,000 people have taken the swine flu jab in France since the launch of the mass vaccination campaign.

There are an estimated 65 million people living in France.

50,000 people is less than 0.1 per cent of the total population.

In a report by AFP, she admitted that the vaccination campaign had been "timid".

However she was pleased that "50,000" people have been vaccinated in hospitals.

She said that at the 10 % of the health personnel in those hospitals in Paris which belong to the public health system had been received the swine flu jab.

Bachelot said that six million people in France would be summoned for their swine flu vaccinations at vaccine centers when the campaign moves from health personnel to the general public  on November 12th, with pregnant women, children and the sick as the first targets.


Grippe H1N1 : Roselyne Bachelot admet que la vaccination est "timide"

(AFP) – il y a 1 heure

PARIS — La ministre de la santé Roselyne Bachelot a admis jeudi que le mouvement de vaccination contre la grippe H1N1 était encore "timide", se réjouissant cependant que d'ores et déjà "50.000 personnes" se soient fait vacciner à l'hôpital.

"A l'Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris 10% des personnels sont vaccinés", a indiqué la ministre sur RTL.

Elle a affirmé qu'il y avait "une très bonne accélération".

Mme Bachelot a rappelé que le processus de vaccination commencerait pour la population générale le 12 novembre et que "six millions de personnes seront convoquées" à cette date, au premier chef les personnes les plus fragiles et l'entourage des nourrissons.

En ce qui concerne le vaccin lui-même, elle a réitéré que "peut-être une seule dose sera nécessaire". "Cette information a besoin d'être confirmée", a-t-elle dit, rappelant que pour les enfants en particulier il faudrait toujours deux doses.

La ministre a indiqué encore que "beaucoup de pays" qui "n'ont pas pris leurs précautions" demandaient à la France de leur "revendre des vaccins". Mais, a-t-elle dit, "je ne veux pas leur vendre tant que je ne suis pas sûre par une constatation clinique que l'immunité donnée par la première dose et qui est déjà importante est bien durable".

I think we have a right to know what is in the vaccines and why. If we are not told what is in the injection and why, we should refuse to allow it. Trust no one. Be your own person and have courage and persevere.

"Trust me" said the snake.
"pregnant women, children and the sick as the first targets."
Hitler would be proud. These werealso HIS target groups - for culling.

Hi!

I'm from France. I just want to say that the traduction with "targets" is bad. This is not mentionned in the french text. "in first place, pregnant women, children and weak people".
I also want to say, that I'm very proud that only 0,1% of french people get vaccinated. But the campaign did not yet really beginn.
I'm very afraid!
I hate Roselyne Bachelot, I hate Nicolas Sarkozy, I hate Barack Obama, I hate Donald Rumsfeld........
I wich you a lot of courage too in the US.
