5:44 p.m. : @Gabrielle In fact, when the vaccination was really opened to the greatest number, only Pfizer (and to a lesser extent Astra Zeneca) managed to supply vials in large quantities. Hence the fact that the American vaccine has never really broken through in France.

5:35 p.m. : @Gabrielle The protection offered by the Janssen single-dose vaccine is not considered sufficient against the Delta variant, all third doses must be given with a messenger RNA vaccine, such as Pfizer for example. You are a rarity: only 2% of the French have been vaccinated with the American serum.
17:31 : Hello Pierre, if I understand correctly, having received the Janssen vaccine and my Nouvelle Aquitaine region does not have any in stock, I have few options: refusing the other vaccines, I will not have a booster or I try to get an appointment in another region which has the Janssen in stock, which is not won. Why is Janssen little or little used? Do you have a lead? thank you
5:28 p.m. : @mumunording: As can be seen in this table, the stocks available to the regions consist of 90% doses of the vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech. Hence the fact that it is easier to be injected with this vaccine rather than the other. Regarding their effectiveness, it remains very comparable, I refer you to our FAQ on vaccines that our Benedictines … sorry … that our journalists have been updating for a year.
4:38 p.m. : Hello France Info, can you explain to me why I cannot find any 3rd dose reminder appointment for my 69-year-old mother-in-law but only in Pfizer? In the spring, I had heard that Moderna had better protection than Pfizer AstraZeneca and Janssen so why the government obliges all over 65s to have the obligation under sanctions of loss of health pass 6 months after their 2nd injection regardless of the vaccination. I thank you in advance for your response, have a good weekend, best regards
