The Covid-19 vaccine booster campaign is now open to all adults, and it will be mandatory to keep your health pass.
But when to do it?
For those who would be a little lost in the schedule unveiled by the government, Health Insurance has launched an online simulator, called "My Covid vaccine booster", to know when to receive the injection.

After answering four questions - date of birth, existence of a positive Covid-19 test since the last dose, name of the vaccine used during the last injection and date of the last injection - the teleservice provides the date from from which it is possible to receive a booster dose, as well as the expiry date of the health pass if the booster is not made.

The booster dose can be administered as early as 5 months after the last injection, or after the last Covid-19 infection.
And if it is not received after 7 months, the health pass will be deactivated.
A 3rd dose to keep your health pass
A measure that will come into force on December 15 for people 65 and over (as well as people vaccinated with the Janssen vaccine), and on January 15, 2022 for 18-64 year olds.
The new QR Code of the health pass becomes valid 7 days after the injection of the booster dose.
