Vaccination against Covid-19 “does not completely eliminate” the risk of contamination, which justifies maintaining travel restrictions for vaccinated people, the Council of State decided in an order published on Friday.
Seized in summary by a resident of one of the first departments where travel was limited to 10 kilometers in mid-March, the Council of State ruled that this "attack on individual freedom (...) cannot, as it is , with regard to the objectives pursued, to be regarded as disproportionate, in so far as it applies to vaccinated persons ”.
Not a barrier to the spread of the epidemic
The highest French administrative court considers that, "however effective the vaccination may be, which still only concerns a small fraction of the most vulnerable people, it does not completely eliminate the possibility that the vaccinated people remain carriers of the virus. ".
However, to date, "the effect of vaccination in terms of reducing the circulation of the virus is only achieved in some countries (...) by a sufficient level of vaccination within the entire population" .
This is not yet the case in France, where "vaccinated people can remain carriers of the virus and thus contribute to the spread of the epidemic, to an extent at this stage difficult to quantify, which therefore does not allow to affirm that only the practice of barrier gestures would sufficiently limit this risk ”.
