If you haven’t done your booster yet and your last vaccination or your last Covid infection is more than four months old, your vaccination pass will be deactivated on February 15. The duration of the recovery certificate which certifies that you have had the Covid is also decreasing.
In any case, after an injection or an infection, you now have four months to do your booster dose, and seven more. A rule that applies to all those who are at least 18 years and one month old. Minors aged 16 and 17 are not obliged to make a reminder to keep their vaccination pass and adolescents aged 12 to 15 are not concerned: they are subject to the health pass.
From now on, to have a valid pass, you must have been exposed to the virus at least three times: via an injection or an infection, and this in any order, provided you have had at least one vaccine. Between each dose, there is a minimum delay before making his recall: three months after his last injection or infection. Now, with a four month lead time, this only leaves one month to get organized and make an appointment.
The four to five million French people who have not yet done their recall four months after their previous injection or infection will therefore see their pass expire on February 15, and it is mission impossible to escape it.
First, because you have to wait seven days after a vaccine injection for the pass to be valid, so within one day, they are already out of time. Then, because there won’t be enough appointments for everyone. This week, 800,000 slots are available on Doctolib, too few for the 4 million to be vaccinated. Despite everything, the government does not intend to be flexible.
On Tuesday February 8, more than 54 million people had received at least a first injection of vaccine in France – and nearly 37 million three doses -, according to data published by Public Health France on Tuesday, i.e. 80.3% of the French population. .
