Up to 800,000 people who have not recalled their Covid-19 vaccine risk having their health pass deactivated on Saturday, a deadline set in November by the government, according to the Ministry of Health.

During a point with journalists on Tuesday Tuesday, the ministry stressed, however, that this figure was "probably overestimated".

Doubt about people with a certificate of recovery

The doubt relates to people with a certificate of recovery from the Covid dating back more than three months (this certificate being valid for 6 months).

"We do not have the percentage of these people who have already made their recall," said the ministry, according to which the number of 800,000 is therefore "an upper limit".

“We are not immune to a good surprise and a figure which, in reality, is lower.

And then we have the whole week to come for these people to make their recall on time, ”added the same source.

Deactivations from January 15

At the end of November, by opening the vaccine booster to all adults, the government announced that it would be necessary to extend the health pass (which will soon be replaced by a vaccination pass).

In the absence of a reminder or certificate of reinstatement, the pass can be deactivated from January 15.

This does not mean that the reminder must necessarily have been made before this date, which simply corresponds to the entry into force of the mechanism: from Saturday, the pass for these people will be deactivated if they have not had a dose. booster a maximum of 7 months after the last injection.

For those over 65 and people with comorbidities, who had access to the booster as early as September, that deadline was December 15.
