Publié le 26 mai 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Are you a private individual or a health professional and wondering about the latest Covid-19 provisions in France? The Ministry of Health offers two Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that provide all up-to-date information about the disease.
You're an individual
One FAQ answers all your questions, especially about vaccination depending on your situation:
- key answers: how many doses do I need, do I need to be vaccinated if I have ever been infected with Covid-19, can I donate my blood after receiving the vaccine or have tested positive? etc.
- booster vaccination;
- the vaccination of minors;
- vaccination of pregnant women (or women who are breastfeeding, or who are planning to become pregnant);
- persons with disabilities.
You will also find all the information you need to know about vaccines: vaccination strategy, vaccines and the protection they provide, medical monitoring of vaccination, side effects, etc.
You are a health, medical, social and social professional
One FAQ provides data sheets to enable healthcare professionals to respond to users:
- immunization of 5-11 year olds: answering questions from parents;
- COVID-19 vaccination and maternity;
- revaccination campaign in Ehpad (residential care facilities for dependent older people) and USLD (long-term care units);
- distribution of Covid-19 vaccines in city medicine;
- recommendations for migrant workers' homes and social residences.

Please note
a reminder campaign for the most vulnerable individuals has been in place since april 27 until june 16, 2023.
The booster dose should be given:
- twice a year, in spring and autumn: for people aged 80 and older, residents of Ehpad and USLD, people who are immunocompromised, and people at very high risk of severe illness regardless of age, based on each individual situation and in a decision shared with the care team.
- every autumn: for people aged 65 to 79, pregnant women, people at risk of severe illness, and people around them regardless of age.
It is recommended that you receive this vaccine with the bivalent Moderna (over 30 years of age) and Pfizer vaccines. The time limit for everyone after the last injection or infection is 6 months.
