French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he would get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as he could, despite a vocal anti-vaccination movement in France.
“As soon as it will be possible, I will get vaccinated. I think all members of cabinet will do so, but let me remind you we are not a priority target group”, Le Maire, who caught the virus earlier in the year, told BFM TV.
A day earlier, Prime Minister Jean Castex said that France would ensure free Covid-19 vaccinations for all in its social security system and has earmarked some $1.8 billion of next year's social security budget to cover the cost.
