Public Frustration Grows as France's Vaccination Campaign Lags

Nicolas Pinault

   PARIS - In France, public frustration with the government is growing as
   the nation's coronavirus immunization campaign gets off to a slow
   start. In response, officials say they will speed up and widen the
   vaccine rollout.

   As of Monday, only 2,500 people had received the vaccine against
   COVID-19 in France-- most of them nursing home residents and their
   nurses. It is too small a number, critics say, for a rollout that
   began, as in other EU countries, on December 27.
