From this Tuesday, February 15, certain rules about the vaccine pass change in France. The booster dose should therefore be given within a period reduced to 4 months. People who have not received their 3rd dose, or contracted covid in the meantime, will lose their vaccine pass.
This is the latest government announcement regarding the vaccine pass. From Tuesday, February 15, the maximum time to receive your booster dose of vaccine against covid-19 will be reduced to 4 months. Until then, the delay was 7 months after the end of the initial vaccination schedule.
#Covid19 | From now on :
➕ the booster dose should be taken as early as 3 months after the #vaccination initial (last dose or infection) and within a maximum of 4 months, to maintain a #PasseVaccinal valid
➕ the reinstatement certificate will be valid for 4 months— Health Insurance (@Assur_Maladie) February 15, 2022
As a reminder, you must wait at least 3 months before you can receive a new dose of vaccine. This means that if you previously had several months to make an appointment at a vaccination center, you now only have a short month to organize yourself.
However, the fateful date depends on your situation: if you have only received the first two doses of vaccine or if you have been infected and then vaccinated, the date to take into account is that of your last injection, on which you must add 4 months. If you have been infected despite a dose of vaccine, you must add 4 months to the date of your infection.
People who have caught the disease despite two injections of the vaccine
or after an injection and an infection, are dispensed with the booster dose, a yearsaid the Minister of Health Olivier Veran.
Young people between the ages of 16 and 17 are exempt from this booster dose in order to keep their vaccination pass and the youngest have never been subject to the vaccination pass.
According to health authorities, between 4 and 4.5 million French people are likely to lose their vaccination pass today, which has prompted many anti-pass activists to react on social networks.
So, February 15. Welcome to the 5 million French people disabled today. You will see, without #PassDeLaHonte #PassVacinal we are much lighter and life has the serene taste of the forgotten times of freedom.

But those rules may very well not last long. Alain Fischer, the head of the government’s vaccination strategy, said that a lifting of the vaccination pass was possible by the end of March or the beginning of April depending on the evolution of the health situation. .
Paradoxically, from this Wednesday, February 16, a new salvo of restrictions must disappear with the reopening of nightclubs, the return of standing concerts and consumption at the counter in the bars.
Wearing a mask will no longer be compulsory in outdoor schools, as soon as the school holidays end. Since Saturday February 12, border controls have been reduced for all vaccinated people.
From February 28, wearing a mask will no longer be compulsory in cinemas, museums, theaters and libraries, after checking the health pass. This will also be the case in restaurants, drinking establishments even if it will still be maintained on trains, on planes and in closed places not subject to the vaccination pass.
