The info not to be missed
On vacation in Brégançon, Emmanuel Macron continues to answer questions from Internet users.

"It is now established that to fight against this virus, we need reminders," says the head of state.
"It will likely take a third dose," he continues.
Not for everyone, right away, but in any case for the most fragile and the oldest.
This is why we are preparing, like the other European countries, to take this third dose ”.

Alain Fischer, chairman of the Vaccine Strategy Orientation Council, also believes that the additional injection will be necessary from the fall for the most vulnerable.
The WHO, for its part, would like these doses to go to countries that have not been vaccinated for the moment, and yesterday asked for a moratorium on these reminders.
The Haute Autorité de Santé is expected to issue an opinion on this at the end of August.

The number of Covid tests is exploding.
The effects of the health pass are starting to be felt.
