What is the vaccine pass?
FYI
The health pass was introduced by the law of 31 May 2021, extended by the law of 5 August 2021 to many activities of daily life and extended if necessary until 31 July 2022 by the law of 10 November 2021. It is replaced by vaccination pass for persons aged 16 and over by the law strengthening the tools for managing the health crisis and amending the public health code published in Official Journal of 23 January 2022.
The vaccination pass consists of presenting, in numeric format (via
My Booklet
of the AllAntiCovid application ) paper, a health proof, of the following 3 (one of these 3 proof is sufficient):
The vaccination certificate, provided that persons have a complete vaccination plan (booster dose made within the time limit for persons aged 18 and 1 month who are eligible for it).
The result of a positive RT-PCR or antigenic test attesting to the recovery of Covid, more than 11 days and less than 4 months.
Except for the exception, the vaccine pass no longer incorporates as evidence the result of a negative Covid-19 test.
FYI
As of February 15, 2022, all persons aged 18 and over must receive a booster dose no more than 4 months after their last Covid injection or infection to receive a valid vaccination pass.
Since the booster dose is not mandatory for adolescents aged 16 and 17, they are considered fully vaccinated with two doses. The booster dose is therefore not necessary to maintain the validity of the vaccine pass for them.
adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15 are not subject to the vaccination pass. In places where
vaccine pass
is required, they may continue to present
sanitary
with a negative PCR or antigenic test of less than 24 hours.
To understand the differences between the sanitary and vaccine pathways, see page
andinfographic
from the government website.
Please note
If you have taken Covid-19 3 months after your initial vaccination regimen, you do not need to take a booster dose. Your unlimited recovery certificate will allow you to have a valid vaccination pass in the French territory.
However, for those wishing to leave the country, the vaccination recall must be done in order to have a valid vaccination certificate to travel.
To whom does the vaccination pass apply?
The vaccination pass concerns all persons 16 years and over. It applies to the public who are welcomed to the places and events where the vaccination pass is required.
The vaccination pass also applies to expatriates from France and to foreigners tourists and students.
The professionals working in institutions receiving public
are, since 24 January 2022, obliged to present a vaccination pass. The health pass has been made mandatory for those working in the places where it is required since August 30, 2021.
minors between 12 and 15 years of age must present a
sanitary
to access the places and events where the vaccination pass is required for those over 16 years of age. Evidence of a negative PCR or antigenic test of less than 24 hours therefore remains valid for minors aged 12 to 15 who are not subject to the
vaccine pass
but shall remain subject to
sanitary
.

from the government website.
Immunisation pass for French expats, foreigners tourists and students
French people outside the EU who are vaccinated on the foreigner with vaccines recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) or their equivalent can obtain a valid vaccination pass in France and in the European area. French expats can claim reimbursement of the costs of antigenic testing or PCR performed during their stay in France. Foreigners tourists and students can obtain a QR code valid pass vaccinal on the French territory for persons with a full vaccination scheme through devices set up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Derogation for persons not vaccinated or partially vaccinated
Those who have not yet been vaccinated will be able to use a negative test certificate of less than 24 hours as part of the pass provided they have completed the first dose of vaccine before February 15, 2022 and the second dose within a maximum of 28 days. These individuals will be required to present the certificate of first injection of up to 28 days to the health personnel conducting the screening.
They can combine the vaccination certificate of the first dose with the result of a negative test of less than 24 hours in Pass+
de TousAnticovid to have a QR code enabling them to access the places and establishments where the vaccination pass is required.
For access to interregional transport, persons who do not have a vaccination pass will be able to present a negative test of less than 24 hours in case of compelling family or health reasons, except in cases of emergency hindering the obtaining of the required proof.
How do I recover my vaccination pass?
All persons vaccinated or who have completed their booster dose can retrieve their vaccination certificate on the Health insurance portal
by connecting via France Connect.
In addition, any health care professional (a pharmacist who is qualified to vaccinate) can find a vaccination certificate and print it out if a person so requests. You will need to present the summary
Data transmitted to Health Insurance
with identifier
patient code
. This code will allow you to find yourself in the Vaccin Covid database.
The certificate of recovery of more than 11 days and less than 4 months (PCR or positive antigenic test) can be retrieved on the basis of data SI-DEP
. It can be printed, it is also made available to the patient via an email and a SMS to go and get it back on SI-DEP. The certificate of reinstatement is now kept for 6 months on SI-DEP
.
Individuals who have contracted Covid-19 more than 3 months after their initial complete vaccination regimen may obtain a unlimited certificate of reinstatement
.
The medical certificate of contraindication to vaccination is issued by a doctor. It can be presented at places, services, establishments and events where the vaccination pass is required.

How to import your vaccine pass into "TousAntiCovid Carnet"?
To import the vaccination certificate into the TousAntiCovid application:
Open the AllAntiCovid application

My Booklet
;
select
Add Certificate
and scan the QR code on the right of the certificate (printed document or displayed in pdf on the screen of a tablet, computer or other smartphone).
If you imported the QR code into AllAntiCovid after the booster dose was administered, you have nothing to do. Your health pass becomes, with the same QR code, a vaccination pass.
Once the vaccination certificate is imported into
AllAntiCovid Notebook
when you display it in full screen mode, you have access to two tabs
Activity
and
Border
. You can then present the corresponding certificate in the places where it is required.
If you use a certificate of recovery of more than 11 days and less than 4 months in the vaccination pass, to import proof of
recovery
(positive test) in
AllAntiCovid Notebook
, you can scan the QR code on the left of the document in paper or PDF format from SI-DEP that accompanies the test result. You can also import the test result directly into TousAntiCovid by clicking the link in the SI-DEP portal.

Who can ask me for my vaccination pass and what data is available?
To manage vaccine pass verification, the proof documents (paper or digital) have a QR code that can be flashed using the application
AllAntiCovid Verif
by the operators of establishments receiving the public or the event organisers concerned by the past.
This application has the minimum reading level with just valid/invalid pass and name, first name, without disclosing any more health information.
In case of serious doubt about the authenticity of the vaccination pass, professionals responsible for checking them, such as restaurateurs and theatre operators, can ask clients for an official document with a photo (identity card, driving licence, vital card...) to verify the consistency of the identity elements between the two documents.
What penalties for vaccine pass fraud?
What are the risks of not presenting it during a check or using a false vaccination pass or a pass that is not hers? How much is the fine?
