those over 65 will have to receive a third dose of vaccine to keep their health pass

Emmanuel Macron spoke on Tuesday, November 9. Among the announcements made to the French, the President of the Republic explained that from December 15, those over 65 will have to fulfill a new condition to have a health pass: have received a third dose of vaccine against Covid-19. During December, those over 50 will be eligible for this vaccine booster. Finally, frail people are strongly encouraged to receive a third dose even if, whatever their choice, their health pass will remain valid.

The executive detailed its vaccination campaign. “If you are over 65 and took your second dose six months ago, you have five weeks to do your booster”, explains government spokesperson Gabriel Attal. After the presidential announcement, more than 100,000 appointments were made online at Doctolib within one hour. This is a record since the launch of this recall campaign.
