Question 38077 — social and medico-social institutions

Summary

Ms. Isabelle Santiago draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Solidarity and Health, responsible for children and families, to the urgency of including professionals in the child protection sector among the priority audiences for the vaccination campaign against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic. With the strengthening of health measures announced on March 31, 2021 by the President of the Republic, the Child protection professionals and the authorized associative sector for the judicial protection of youth (associations, foundations, federations and collectives) are asking the Government to be able to immediately appear on the list of those who need to be vaccinated. Indeed, with the closure of schools, child protection professionals will have to welcome and support on a daily basis children and their families. Experience has shown that we must not slow down support for the most vulnerable, at the risk of seeing situations worsen. Also, the role of these professionals who, like caregivers cannot and do not want to exercise any right of withdrawal despite the risks involved, is to ensure a mission of close proximity with a fragile public. Child protection establishments, such as hospitals or nursing homes cannot afford to interrupt the support of those entrusted to them. In the interest of children and families supported by child protection, vaccination of staff is a measure to preserve the quality as well as the safety of care. The risks of absenteeism are increased again as the entire country is now subject to new measures reinforced sanitary facilities and schools are closed. Children who need protection must be able to count on caring and constantly available staff. She therefore asks him if the Government will urgently grant child protection professionals priority access to vaccines; it is a question of consistency and security, in the name of the best interests of the children protected.
