The deadlines for taking a booster dose are shortened.
For people over the age of 18 and one month, this booster must now be carried out a maximum of four months after the end of their initial vaccination schedule.
If this is not the case, their QR code will be automatically deactivated, and therefore their pass will become invalid.
This rule does not apply to minors.
Change also for recovery certificates, that is to say the certificates given to people who have had Covid and are now cured.
It is only valid for four months, instead of seven.
If the government is tightening the screw on the vaccination pass, which it does not consider potentially lifting until the spring, depending on the situation, it seems to be releasing the pressure on wearing a mask.
From Wednesday, the consumption and sale of food and drink will again be allowed in stadiums, cinemas and public transport.
The French will be able to enjoy standing concerts, have a drink standing also in bars.
And dance, finally!
Nightclubs will be able to reopen after two months of closure.
