1/4 - Il faut d’urgence éviter un fiasco en France avec la campagne de vaccination contre la #COVID19. Les jeunes, les restaurateurs, tous ceux qui souffrent aujourd’hui des conséquences de la crise sanitaire ne pourront pas accepter que les personnes âgées ne se vaccinent pas.
2/4 - Il faut simplifier les procédures de vaccination dans les EPHAD.
- Supprimer le consentement écrit (ce n’est pas un essai clinique mais un vaccin approuvé par l’EMA).
- Rendre obligatoire la vaccination en EPHAD (comme elle l’est en crèche pour d’autres vaccins)
3/4 - Il faut d’urgence vacciner les personnes âgées non institutionnalisées par des centres dédiés - comme en Allemagne - tant qu’on a des vaccins ARNm. Confier la vaccination aux médecins de ville dès que vaccins inactivés/protéines purifiées/virus vecteur disponibles.
