Faced with the eighth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, the government is launching its vaccination campaign on Monday, October 3. People over 60 and the most vulnerable are concerned in priority.
A new vaccination campaign accessible to all is launched from Monday, October 3, to deal with the resumption of the Covid-19 epidemic. As of September 30, an average of 42,000 cases were recorded per day, according to the Health Risk Watch and Anticipation Committee (Covars). This new campaign starts only with booster doses. This concerns primarily health professionals, the over 60s and fragile people.
These new vaccines should make it possible to better adapt to the Omicron variant. According to the Ministry of Health, 576,000 doses are available at the start of the campaign. The previous vaccines, however, remain very effective in protecting against serious forms. The Covars also calls for the resumption of wearing a mask in transport. A civic gesture to better limit infection and transmission of the virus.
