Europe will have "
the capacity for collective immunity
" by July 14.
The European Commissioner in charge of vaccines, Thierry Breton, had already assured this a few days ago;
he reaffirmed it during the “Grand Jury RTL-
Le Figaro
-LCI” this Sunday and specified the modalities.
In particular, a vaccination passport should be made available from June 15.
This is a new stage that is opening for vaccination against Covid-19.
After a period of adaptation, the industrial production of vaccines now seems to be running smoothly.
The European Commissioner has in any case affirmed with "
certainty
" that "
360 million doses
" would be delivered to Europe at the end of the third quarter, as well as 420 million in the middle of July.
Amounts "
necessary to start talking about this collective immunity
".
In France, 3 million doses should also be delivered next week.
No obligation for the vaccination passport
"We
will have to move to acceleration
", thus enjoined Thierry Breton, affirming that it is "
to the Member States to organize themselves and to accelerate
" the vaccination campaign.
"
They have 420 million doses to administer in three and a half months
," he said.
This industrial increase will be accompanied by a new device: the vaccination passport.
Scheduled for June 15 and harmonized at European level, this "
certificate
" will be available in both paper and digital format.
Equipped with a "
QR code
", it will indicate "
the state which is yours
", namely "
the type of vaccine which you have had
", "
if you have been a carrier of the disease
", and "
if you have antibodies
”.
This document may be requested to take a plane, participate in an “
important event
” or enter a public place, but is not compulsory.
“At the same time,
we are developing a capacity to have rapid antigenic tests
,” said Thierry Breton.
In the absence of a certificate, a negative test will therefore be required.
The goal, for the European Commissioner: "to
regain the capacity to live together without being a risk
" and "to
have the capacity to reopen
".
“
We have to get organized very quickly
,” he repeated.
