Question 38372 — health

Summary

Mr. André Villiers questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on equal access to vaccines in rural areas, a condition for the success of a national vaccination campaign for all. While nearly one in four French people live in a municipality of less than 3,500 inhabitants, the mayors of rural municipalities are concerned by the risk that a national vaccination strategy concentrating the effort on vaccinodromes in the metropolises would impact access to vaccines for residents of rural areas, some of whom are not very mobile. If pharmacists are often the last local health actors present throughout the territory, they are only authorized to inject the AstraZenecca vaccine, not the messenger RNA vaccines which can be stored very cold. However, there is growing distrust of the AstraZenecca vaccine, particularly among people elderly. To facilitate access to vaccines for residents of rural areas, a local solution could therefore be to empower pharmacists to also inject messenger RNA vaccines. He asks what measures the Government intends to take, and according to what timetable, in order to guarantee equal access to vaccines for residents of rural areas and thus succeed in the national vaccination strategy for all.
