It's a small concession.

The deputies raised Tuesday to 16 years the threshold required for the vaccine pass, against 12 years in the initial project of the government, which finally rallied to this change.

This modification was adopted almost unanimously - 386 votes in favor, two against - during the examination at first reading at the Palais Bourbon of the bill establishing the vaccination pass.

The compromise on this issue relating to the vaccination of minors, which had greatly contributed to tense up the debate, was made around an amendment by the socialist Cécile Untermaier, subamended during the session by the government.

The socialist amendment provides "not to apply the vaccination pass for minors aged 12 to 15 but to maintain the current health pass system for these minors".

Thus, the vaccination pass would only be applied to "the age from which a minor can be vaccinated against Covid-19 without parental consent", i.e. 16 years.

The sub-amendment presented by the Minister of Health Olivier Véran adds that "only the health pass can apply to school trips, as well as to all extracurricular and extracurricular activities"

Less heated debates than the day before

Other amendments asking that the health pass is not required for minors under 18 were withdrawn or rejected, in favor of the compromise finally voted.

The consensus climate to amend the government's initial text decided against the electric atmosphere that had prevailed when the text was debated the day before, marked by a vote during the night refusing the continuation of the debates.

The oppositions had mocked the inability of the majority to be present in sufficient numbers in the hemicycle to avoid this snub, and denounced the government's lack of will for dialogue.

The government, for its part, accused the opposition, in particular the LR deputies, of seeking to make a political “coup” without regard to the seriousness of the health crisis.
