• Order president Carine Wolf‑Thal warned a refusal to order vials would also block supply to other health professionals who vaccinate.
• The FSPF urged pharmacists to avoid individual boycott actions that could turn public opinion, calling the tactic counterproductive.
• USPO spokesperson Cyril Colombani said the call is spreading among rank‑and‑file, with some even threatening to halt flu vaccinations.
