Valid vaccine pass: what changes from 15 february?

Valid vaccine pass: how long do you need to take your booster dose?

Starting February 15, 2022, for persons over 18 years and 1 month, the booster dose will have to be completed within 4 months of the end of the initial vaccination plan (3 months for recall eligibility plus 1 month for recall).

This measure applies only to persons over 18 years and 1 month. Minors aged 16 and 17 do not have to recall to keep their valid vaccination pass. Adolescents aged 12 to 15 are not subject to the vaccination pass. Within the framework of

sanitary

they are not required to perform their booster dose, even if the recall campaign has been open to them since january 24, 2022.

Examples:

• If I received 2 doses of vaccineI have to recall not later than 4 months after my second injection.
• If I had Covid-19 and then received a single dose of vaccine (Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Moderna) my reminder no later than 4 months after my injection.
• If I got a dose of vaccine (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna or Janssen) And I got Covid-19 more than 15 days after the injectionI have to my recall no later than 4 months after my infection.
• If I got Covid-19 and then got a dose of Janssen after my infection, I have to do my recall no later than 2 months after my injection.
• If I am not yet eligible for the booster dose (last injection in less than 3 months), my initial vaccination certificate remains valid.

After the booster dose, the vaccine pass will indicate a full 3/3, or 2/1 vaccination for those who had a full initial vaccination pattern with only one injection and for those who had previously had Covid-19 and for whom only one dose of vaccine was required.

After the booster dose, the vaccination certificate has unlimited validity.

To know when to do your booster dose, you can use the Health Insurance simulator My Vaccine Covid Reminder .

How do I do this if I can't do my booster dose because I have Covid-19?

If you are over 18 years of age and 1 month of age and you cannot complete your booster because you have been infected with Covid-19 more than 3 months after your initial vaccination plan (2 doses), you do not need to do a booster dose.

If you received a dose of vaccine and caught Covid twice after injection, you do not need to do a booster dose.

Your recovery certificate will allow you to have a valid vaccination pass to access the places and activities where it is required. A Covid infection is therefore equivalent to a dose of vaccine.

What is a Certificate of Recovery?

The recovery certificate is one of the pieces of evidence that allows a valid vaccination pass. It proves that you tested positive in Covid-19: this is the positive result of the RT-PCR or antigenic test.

Certificate of test positive must be more than 11 days old and less than 4 months old for people who are not vaccinated, not fully vaccinated and for people infected with Covid:

• before receiving an injection;
• between injections;
• less than 3 months after their full initial vaccination schedule (2 doses).

The people who were tested positive at Covid-19 more than 3 months after their initial complete vaccination regimen may use their recovery certificate as part of the vaccine pass. They do not need to do a booster dose and the certificate of reinstatement has unlimited validityas a booster dose.

How do I get a certificate of recovery?

You can recover your certificate of recovery (PCR test result or positive antigenic), either on the SI-DEP platform   via the link sent by e-mail and/or SMS or via France Connect, either directly to the medical biology laboratory or the healthcare professional who carried out the test (paper version).

It is then possible to either keep the paper version or integrate the certificate of reinstatement into the application log

AllAntiCovid

by scanning the QR code or importing it directly from the SI-DEP platform via the dedicated link.

Individuals who have contracted Covid-19 more than 3 months after their initial complete vaccination regimen can obtain an indefinite certificate of recovery.

For those tested positive before February 15, 2022:

You must update the application first

AllAntiCovid

on your smartphone.

You must do a manipulation in the application

AllAntiCovid

to associate your positive test result with your vaccination certificate. This step allows you to obtain your unlimited recovery certificate.

After importing into the Notebook

AllAntiCovid

your recovery certificate (positive test result) and your last vaccination certificate (1/1 or 2/2), the

Pass+

of the Carnet allows you to generate a new certificate of reinstatement with no validity end.

For those tested positive after February 15, 2022:

For antigenic tests performed after February 15, the health care professional responsible for screening will generate your unlimited recovery certificate upon presentation of your vaccination certificate. For laboratory tests (RT-PCR), ask your laboratory to find out if they are able to perform this manipulation. Otherwise, you can do the manipulation (described above) in

AllAntiCovid

to generate the unlimited duration recovery certificate.

You can present this unlimited-term recovery certificate at the facilities or events where the vaccination pass is required.

People who begin their initial vaccination cycle

In order to encourage non-vaccinated persons to start a vaccination cycle, since 24 January 2022, persons 16 years of age or older who received a first injection before 15 February 2022 may use a negative antigenic test or RT-PCR of less than 24 hours as part of the vaccination pass in the French territory during the 28 days before the 2^e injection.
