This is the expression that is currently on everyone’s lips: to obtain your health pass, the best solution remains to justify a complete vaccination plan. What does that mean exactly?
Asked by our colleagues from Sunday newspaper (JDD) this Sunday, January 2, 2022, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran explains that a complete vaccination schedule “corresponds until January 15 to 2 doses, except for those over 65, who since December 15 must have done their booster a maximum of 7 months after their second dose. This same rule of 7 months for the third dose will apply from January 15 to all people over 18 years of age.“
In short: if you are under 65 and have received 2 injections of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine, you currently have a complete vaccination schedule. On the other hand, from January 15, 2022, you will only be considered to have a complete vaccination schedule if you have received your booster dose (the famous third dose, therefore) at most 7 months after your last injection.
A 3rd dose of anti-Covid-19 vaccine within 7 months (then within 4 months)
An example : if you received your second dose of Pfizer/BioNtech in July 2021, you currently have a complete vaccination schedule. On the other hand, you must make an appointment before February 2022 (7 months after your second dose, therefore) to obtain your booster dose and thus keep your complete vaccination schedule – therefore your health pass.
If you are over 65, it is imperative that you have received your third dose of anti-Covid-19 vaccine no more than 7 months after your second dose so that your vaccination schedule is currently complete.
Warning ! From February 15, 2022, the rules will (further) change since the time within which it will be necessary to have had its third dose of anti-Covid-19 vaccine will be reduced to 4 months instead of 7 months. Otherwise, the vaccination schedule will no longer be considered complete.
