France suspends 3,000 unvaccinated health workers
Last month, healthcare and fire service workers protested against France's Covid-19 "health pass"
But French Health Minister Olivier Véran said on Thursday that "most of the suspensions are only temporary". After the president's announcement, Doctolib, the website people use to book their jabs, crashed as so many people tried secure appointments. And in another southern city, Montélimar, one hospital confirmed that it had already begun cancelling non-urgent operations because of a shortage of vaccinated anaesthetists, AFP news agency reports.
He added that the suspensions mainly affected support staff, and "few white coats". There have also been "a few dozen resignations" across the country, he said.Unvaccinated workers at the Pasteur hospital in Nice have been protesting outside the building But since the introduction of a Covid "health pass" in July, France has become one of the world's most vaccinated countries.
