As the fifth wave of Covid-19 grows day by day, the government decides to react to try to stem the number of contaminations.
The booster dose is therefore extended to all adults, from this Saturday, November 27. SIf your last dose was more than five months old, you can get the vaccine again. Warning, if you don’t, your health pass will be deactivated after seven months warns the government.
“We realize that immunity is decreasing. We see patients who are not only elderly people. It was expected in the profession”, Details Laure Lefebvre, doctor in Louviers, regional delegate of the MG France union, guest of France Bleu Normandie. “We started with the older ones, there, the younger ones are starting to reach that six-month barrier after the last dose, so it makes sense to widen. “
One dose for everyone, even for those who have been infected
A new dose, which you must do well, even if you have already been contaminated with Covid-19: “It should be called the booster dose, and not the third dose. In fact, we consider that if we have had the Covid, it is like a first dose. We relaunch the doses of antibodies to try to respond as well as possible to questions about the vaccine. ”
A much requested reminder, on the only day of Thursday, November 25, the day of the announcements, 1.25 million people have made an appointment on the Doctolib site.
