A new vaccination campaign against Covid-19 was launched this Monday, April 15 until June 16. The objective is to protect those most at risk of developing a serious form of the disease.
Anyone wishing a booster will be able to benefit from it free of charge, provided that a period of at least three months has passed after the last injection or Covid contamination. All those concerned will receive a priority dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (messenger RNA) which protects against the Omicron XBB.1.5 variant. In the event of contraindication or intolerance, it will be possible to use the Novavax vaccine, which also targets the omicron variant but based on a technology other than messenger RNA (recombinant protein antigen vaccine) The vaccination campaign intervenes above all in anticipation of the significant mixing of populations expected during the Olympic Games. For the moment, there is no need to worry about the circulation of Covod-19 in France.
