Europe faces a comeback of the Covid-19 in this fall 2021. The Belgium consider its sanitary measures and Austria has gone so far as to decide on containment for the unvaccinated. This hypothesis is not currently on the agenda in France, but the spokesperson Gabriel Attal indicated that the government did not exclude, in principle, any track.
How many people involved in the Nord Pas de Calais if such a measure were to be priced? We take stock of the number of people vaccinated in the region*.
Very good vaccination coverage in Nord – Pas-de-Calais
The two departments located in Hauts-de-France have very high vaccination coverage. According to the latest published data, as of November 11, 2021, 88.2% of people aged 12 and over were fully vaccinated in the North, or nearly 2 million people.
In Pas-de-Calais, this rate is 90% ! Thus, 1.1 million people have received the vaccine.
The Nord – Pas-de-Calais is therefore located above the national average to 87.1% of the population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated.
UN containment of unvaccinated persons would it therefore be useful to stem a new epidemic wave? That is for the specialists to determine.
Who received their booster dose?
For now, the focus is on the vaccine booster campaign, because studies show that after six months the immunity induced by the vaccine wanes. For the time being, it is aimed primarily at the most vulnerable patients.
To accelerate the movement, President Emmanuel Macron announced that the health pass for over 65s that have not received a reminder will be deactivated as of December 15. The recall campaign should also extend from December people aged 50 to 64.
Since September, in the North, 158,000 people, i.e. 7.2% of the population, received this booster dose. In Pas-de-Calais, this concerns 98,000 people, or about 7.9% of the population.
In the Nord and Pas-de-Calais, the circulation of the coronavirus continues to intensify. The incidence is thus 122 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the North, on November 11 (88/100,000 the previous week) and 74 in Pas-de-Calais (against 49 a week earlier).
Faced with this situation, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said this morning on France Inter, that there is “absolutely no confinement which is planned for the moment, neither near nor far” while specifying that after nearly two years of health crisis “nothing should ever be excluded in principle “.
