The health pass, whose enlargement Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday evening, will only apply from August 30 for adolescents, announced the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, this Tuesday evening at 20 Hours of France 2 , which invites young people from 12 to 17 years old are invited to be “vaccinated quickly”.
“The vaccination started quite late for adolescents. We have identified a solution for 12-17 year olds: for them, the health pass will apply from August 30, ”said the Minister.
Few teens to be vaccinated
The health pass, which testifies that a person is not a priori affected by Covid-19, will in particular become mandatory at the end of July to enter places of culture of more than 50 people, like many cinemas. Above all, the measure will be extended in early August to a large number of cases: restaurants, shopping centers, long journeys by train or bus.
The pass will be requested from the age of 12. However, the 12-18 year olds are still few to be vaccinated, because they have been entitled to it only since the end of June and must receive vaccines in two doses, only that of Pfizer / BioNTech having been authorized for them so far. This brings the minimum time between the first dose and effective vaccination to nearly a month and a half.
