Covid-19: France offering fourth vaccine dose to seniors
Those over 80 are now eligible to take the shot, but are encouraged to keep masks on
France is offering a fourth dose of a coronavirus vaccine to people older than 80 who had their booster more than three months ago, the prime minister said Saturday.
Jean Castex told Le Parisian newspaper that they were nevertheless recommended to keep wearing a face mask as France relaxes its Covid-19 restrictions.
The European nation is on Monday to drop the vaccine pass, proof that someone has been triple vaccinated against the illness, which until now was required to enter public spaces such as cinemas or restaurants.
A similar pass will however be needed to go to a hospital or a retirement home in order to protect the most vulnerable.
