The statement has sensitively affected all those fighting the virus, including the president, who will receive Sanofi executives in office early next week, the Elysee Palace added.
“The efforts of the past few months have shown: it is essential that the vaccine should be a public good in the world and not be subject to the laws of the market“- A presidential source told the French news agency. According to the presidential office, efforts must be continued to achieve a coordinated and common response to the pandemic with all actors. To this end, Emmanuel Macron will welcome the representatives of drugs next week because “it is important that we continue working with Sanofi”.
Prime Minister Édouard Philippe spoke to Serge Weinberg, chairman of the Sanofi board of directors, on Thursday. The head of government confirmed that access to the vaccine must be guaranteed for all.
In France, Paul Hudson, CEO of Sanofi, sparked a heated debate on Wednesday saying that if the vaccine is developed, the company will be the “first” to supply vaccines to the United States because that country also shares the risks of development. Sanofi is developing the new coronavirus vaccine with the support and cooperation of an authority from the United States Department of Health (Barda).
Following the French government’s statements, Sanofi transferred responsibility to the European authorities, asking them to be as “effective” as the US authorities.
