Emmanuel Macron brings the vaccination of those 50 years and over forward to May 10 and the remaining doses can be administered to all French people from Wednesday May 12.
Vaccination takes on a new dimension with these announcements, Emmanuel Macron wants to go faster. People over 50 will be able to have the Covid-19 vaccine administered from May 10, instead of May 15 as initially planned so far. “The campaign is continuing at a forced march,” he said, inaugurating the first major Paris vaccine park, installed at Porte de Versailles in Paris.
“No age limit” but with the remaining doses
From now on all French people and those “without age limit” will be able to make an appointment the day before for the next day to be administered an unused dose.
Thus, “from Wednesday May 12, you will be able to watch the doses that are available the day before on the Doctolib site. And if there are, where you are, doses that are available the next day, and therefore appointments that are not made, they will be open without age limit, “confirms the President of the Republic.
No slot should be lost.
From May 12, appointments that have not found a taker 24 hours before will be open to all adult volunteers, unconditionally.https://t.co/H6mJCiN6iG
