VACCINATION COVID. Vaccination against Covid entered a new stage this fall. How many French people are vaccinated to date? How many booster doses have already been given? All numbers.
The vaccination against the coronavirus has entered a new stage in France. By announcing at the end of the year that the maintenance of the health pass would be subject to a third booster dose for all adults, then by displaying its desire to introduce a vaccination pass as soon as possible, the government caused a new rebound in the number doses administered daily in December, before a sharp drop during the holidays.
For the past year, the executive has made vaccination against Covid the priority health issue in the fight against the epidemic. France managed to achieve a high level of vaccination in a few months and to achieve vaccination coverage among the highest in Europe and the world. However, this may not be enough to completely eradicate the disease, but it protects against serious forms, offers protection to the most fragile and makes it possible to desaturate hospital services.
The progress of vaccination is closely monitored by the health authorities, because it is considered the only real bulwark to avoid a new epidemic outbreak. Here are the figures from the Ministry of Health on the doses of vaccine administered and the number of people vaccinated in France (vaccination coverage calculated on the total population):
