COVID-19 vaccines will be ready shortly, according to the laboratories that have carried out the research. Thus, the French Government has opened the way to starting the vaccination campaign against breast cancer. France’s Prime Minister Jean Castex said that by the end of December, both vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, should achieve the High Health Authority’s yes. The vaccination campaign shall be initiated as soon as a yes is achieved and shall consist of three phases.

The first phase will be launched at the end of December. Preference will be given to residents of and vulnerable health workers in the Elderly Centres. Starting in February, the second phase, in which vulnerable people will be vaccinated, is planned. Finally, in spring, Castex has set itself the goal of extending the vaccine to the entire population. The vaccine will not be mandatory in Ipar Euskal Herria, and will be exhausted for all citizens.

The French Minister of Health, Olivier Veran, said that ‘the vaccine will not immediately change the evolution of the pandemic’. However, he assured that “the French Government has done its best to calm” the citizens. Castex: ‘The entities that authorise the vaccine are independent. The vaccine has been developed rapidly by laboratories, but the level of control has been very high. Such additions shall be made under conditions of complete safety’. To respond to the ‘fears’ that have been generated around the vaccine in recent weeks, Veran added that ‘the weapon against effective fear is knowledge’.

Relieving confinement

The lockdown is still in place in Iparralde; but French President Emmanuel Macron should withdraw it on 15 December to replace it with a eviction order. From that day on, the citizens of Ipar Euskal Herria will have to be in their homes between 21:00 and 06:00. Castex said that the curfew would be made more flexible on 24 and 31 December, but he has not yet given any further details. During those days, the concentration of family members and relatives has requested that it be limited to six adults, without the number of children being fixed.
