The extension of the health pass, announced by Emmanuel Macron during his speech this Monday evening, created an electric shock.
In the minutes that followed, many French people who had not done so until now made an appointment to be vaccinated.
This rush, notably observed on Doctolib, automatically resulted in an extension of the time taken to obtain appointments.
Now, it takes an average of 17.4 days to land a slot ... Especially since, during the summer - and faced with less interest since mid-June - some vaccination centers have closed their doors.
In Ile-de-France alone, nearly a quarter have taken a break for the summer period.

For the date of July 13 alone, Doctolib recorded more than 1.3 million appointments.
The day before, the platform had counted more than 800,000, and 432,000 this Wednesday, July 14.
In recent months, that number has never exceeded 470,000 per day, according to data from the site.
More than a month of waiting in places
Mechanically, this explosion in demand leads to an increase in waiting times between making an appointment and the appointment itself.
But it is very uneven according to the territories.
Ille-et-Vilaine is by far the worst-off department.
It takes, on average, 35.3 days (more than a month!) To get an appointment for a first dose, according to Doctolib.
Follow the Gironde (29.2 days), Calvados (28.2), Lozère (28.1) and Vaucluse (26.7).
Charente, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Lot-et-Garonne, Meuse and Charente-Maritime also face relatively long delays, since it takes at least 25 days to get an appointment for first injection.
In some departments, the evolution of the situation between July 12 - the day of Macron's speech - and July 14 is indicative of this rush for vaccination, as the deadline has skyrocketed. In Ille-et-Vilaine, the wait to get an appointment has increased by 15.8 days in just two days. The Cher is also facing a significant aspect ratio. The department has gone from a 10-day wait to almost 25 days for a first injection. Development is also very important in Lot-et-Garonne, Var and Yonne.
At the other end of the ranking, some departments have less than seven days of waiting, such as Corse-du-Sud (6.1), Reunion (5.9) and the Ardennes (5.6). In these three departments, the time to get a first appointment has even decreased. For example, it fell by 11 days in Corse-du-Sud between July 12 and 14, by 8.9 days in the Ardennes and by 7.8 days in Morbihan.
