According to the Ministry of Health, nearly 560,000 people lost their health passes on Saturday for lack of a third dose.
At the end of November, by opening the vaccine recall against Covid-19 to all adults, the government had already announced that the third dose would be necessary to extend the health pass, which has since become a vaccine pass.
Many of our readers are among those who have been deprived of leisure for several days today.
By choice?
A computer bug or a lack of time or time to get vaccinated?
The reasons for the loss of the famous sesame are numerous.
“For the moment it is social confinement”
Leaving his house on Saturday, Olivier did not expect the loss of his QR code: “I realized on going to the swimming pool and then to the restaurant that my pass had been deactivated. The professionals not having understood what was happening, I was able to carry out my activities. The answers to his questions came from the television news. “It was only the same evening that I had the explanations… While watching television. I took my third dose on Sunday morning. You must then wait seven days for the pass to be reactivated. So for now, it's social confinement. The date of 15 [January] had escaped me and I had no follow-up,” says the fifty-year-old.
The man therefore points to a lack of information from the government on this deadline.
An opinion shared by Céline, who was ready to be vaccinated but who now finds herself deprived of leisure because of a change in the rule: “I made an appointment at the beginning of December to take my third dose.
A reminder that I have to do on February 17th.
It would have been on time if the Minister of Health had not reduced the validity period of the vaccination from 5 to 3 months between doses!
Our two readers seem despite themselves to be victims of the government's lack of communication on the latest health measures.
"It's really a big mess"
But others find themselves without this pass due to computer problems, for example with a dose taken close to the fateful date. As of December 15, vaccinated people aged 65 and over had to have had their three doses to still have access to the QR code. At the age of 75, Claude did her recall on December 8, seven days before the deactivation of several passes... Since that date, she can no longer indulge in her hobbies: "I have had my three doses since December 8 and despite everything my sanitary pass is deactivated. It's really a big mess, ”plagues the retiree. What explains the impossibility for Claude to use her pass is that it takes 7 days for the dose of vaccine to be added to her vaccination file, so the 15th for her, the day when several codes have been deactivated. But since,she should have found her sesame. Hence the computer bug.
Laurent's wife had the same problem: “She had her booster dose on January 12 and because of the seven days before the vaccine was active, her health pass was invalidated on January 15: an aberration.
But other French people have consciously said goodbye to the past… By refusing the booster shot.
“I become a bad citizen”
Since the government launched the vaccine campaign for the third dose, several pro-vaccine French people are now very reluctant, this is the case of Sylvie: "I received the first two doses of the vaccine in the month of April. I was then one of the good citizens. But I had some problems after the vaccination, so I don't want to make this reminder… I am therefore becoming a bad citizen and will be cut off from all social life. “Because it is indeed the social bond that the French will deprive themselves of without a vaccination pass: farewell to restaurants, indoor sports, evenings in bars or the cinema…” It's sad but I would do without leisure. That said, given the soaring prices and the decline in purchasing power, leisure is in danger of becoming a luxury! Even for the holders of the famous vaccine sesame”,tempers our reader Dominique.
Deprived of discotheques, dancing bars, young people find it difficult to refuse this dose.
At 22, Alison was not very motivated to get bitten: "I didn't want to do the basic vaccine, but without really having the choice, because at our age we are almost obliged to do it if we wants to have a social life.
When I found out that I needed a booster dose, I said to myself "no, out of the question"… But hey, it's the same story as for the first dose, we don't really have a choice anymore.
My pass is disabled until next Friday!
And fortunately because my birthday is coming up and I want to celebrate it.
