From this Tuesday, to keep a valid vaccination pass, the booster dose of vaccines against Covid-19 must be carried out no later than four months after the end of the initial vaccination schedule, except for those who have contracted the disease since then. .

The maximum period for recall was up to now seven months.

In detail, the recall must have been carried out “no later than four months” after the second injection for those who received two doses, “no later than four months” after the single injection for those who had Covid then a dose of vaccine, and "no later than four months" after infection for those who had a dose and then the disease, according to the Ministry of Health.

People who have caught the disease when they have already had two injections or an injection and an infection are exempt from the booster dose, under the principle "one infection = one injection" stated by the Minister of Health Olivier Véran .

Other exceptions: people aged 16 and 17 are not required to do a reminder to keep their vaccination pass, and the youngest are not subject to the vaccination pass.

Nearly 4.5 million people will lose their passes

On the other hand, French people who wish to leave the country, for example for the next vacation, must have made a recall in order to have a valid certificate to cross the border.

According to estimates by health authorities, between 4 and 4.5 million people will be likely to lose their vaccination pass on Tuesday for lack of a reminder or infection.

But these rules could be modified soon, a lifting of the vaccine pass being possible "by the end of March" or the beginning of "April", estimated Wednesday Alain Fischer, the "Mister vaccine" of the government.

Provided that the incidence rate turns out to be "10 or 20 times lower" than at present, that the hospital overload is coming to an end and that a very high proportion of French people are vaccinated, according to him.

In the meantime, as of Wednesday, a new salvo of restrictions must disappear with the reopening of nightclubs or the authorization of standing concerts and consumption at the counter in bars.
