They have until Saturday. Between 500,000 and 700,000 people who have not recalled their Covid-19 vaccine theoretically risk having their health pass deactivated this weekend, a figure announced by Olivier Véran on France Info. But the number of passes actually deactivated by this deadline will undoubtedly be lower. “Among these 500 to 700,000, there are a significant number who have presented an infection and who have not yet put proof of their infection in their All Anti Covid system”, which extends the validity of their pass, explains he does.
At the end of November, by opening the vaccine booster to all adults, the government announced that it would be necessary to extend the health pass, which will soon be replaced by a vaccination pass. In the absence of a reminder or certificate of reinstatement, the pass can be deactivated from January 15. This does not mean that the reminder must necessarily have been made before this date, which simply corresponds to the entry into force of the mechanism: from Saturday, the pass will be deactivated for people who have not had a booster dose. at most 7 months after the last injection.
98% of vaccinated people over 65 had their booster
For those over 65 and people with comorbidities, who had access to the booster as early as September, that deadline was December 15. “In mid-December, people were worried, and in fact you have not heard of any pass that jumps,” said Olivier Véran. According to him, 98% of vaccinated people over 65 were recalled seven months after their last injection. This proportion is “almost 90%” three months after the last injection.
“The acceptability rate of the recall is enormous”, assured the Minister of Health, according to which “the recall is the rule, the non-recall is the exception”. For the time being, 29.5 million people have received their recall since the opening of the campaign on September 1, then its gradual expansion to all adults.
