“The vaccination pass will come into force as soon as possible”. This was declared on franceinfo by the Minister Delegate for Autonomy and Departmental Councilor of Pas-de-Calais, Brigitte Bourguignon. “We only lost 48 hours”, she relativized, assuring that he “it was normal for there to be debates”. She also confirmed that the vaccination pass should come into effect for those over 16 in the coming days.
The Senate voted for the vaccination pass but disagreements persist with the Assembly. The version adopted by the senators removes the possibility of carrying out identity checks on the part of professionals. It also withdraws the administrative fine for non-compliance by the employer with the rules of teleworking. The last word will go to the deputies.
