Four months to receive her booster dose
To be able to keep a valid vaccination pass on February 15, you must have received your booster dose of anti-Covid vaccine within a maximum of 4 months after the end of your initial vaccination schedule (second dose or infection), compared to 7 months. so far.
Otherwise, “
the QR code of your old vaccination certificate will be automatically deactivated, it will be placed in the “expired certificate” category and can no longer be used as part of the vaccination pass
”, specifies the government.
As a reminder, the booster dose can be carried out from 3 months after the end of his initial vaccination schedule.
Children under 18 not concerned
The new rules only apply to people over the age of 18 years and 1 month.
Minors aged 16 and 17 are not obliged to do their recall to keep their pass, while adolescents aged 12 to 15 are not subject to the vaccination pass.
Exemption for people infected after their two doses
Adults infected with Covid-19 after receiving their first two doses of vaccine do not need to receive a booster dose to keep their pass.
Their certificate of recovery can serve as a pass.
They will have to do something in the TousAntiCovid application - updated in mid-February - to associate their recovery certificate and their vaccination certificate and thus present a valid vaccination pass without having received the booster dose.
This is the translation of the rule set out in early February by the Minister of Health Olivier Véran: “
one infection equals one injection
”.
In other words, from February 15, to have a valid pass, you must have been exposed to the virus at least three times, by injection or infection, provided you have received at least one dose of vaccine.

Another major change is worth noting for February 15.
The period of validity of the certificate of recovery - attesting to a positive test for Covid-19 - will be reduced from six to four months.
Concretely, this change concerns people who have been administered a dose of vaccine and then have been contaminated by Covid-19.
