Or, as in my case, if one was fortunate in obtaining a vaccination from outside of France - in my case, I got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson while visiting the United States in April, back when France was limiting what few doses they had to those who were 85 years old or older - you’re out of luck since the pass sanitaire system can only accommodate vaccinations received within France.Īs the French government debated the proposed law leading up to its implementation, in typical fashion the French took to the streets in protest around the country. For instance, the issuance of the QR codes following a vaccination only began in late May, so that the millions of vaccinations that were given in the weeks and months prior are not incorporated automatically into the digital registry (but can be retroactively added by calling into the Health Ministry and waiting forty minutes or more to talk to an earnest but incompetent “counselor”).

This so-called “pass sanitaire” is managed mainly via a phone app that is downloadable onto any smart phone (TousAntiCovid, which means “Everyone Against COVID”) and anytime one gets either a COVID-19 test, or more importantly a COVID-19 vaccination, the Ministry of Health automatically issues a QR code for your phone (for those preferring a paper trail, a printable version is also provided via email or in-person at the vaccination center).įrance has the distinction of having one of the highest rates of vaccination skepticism in Europe, so the initially sluggish pace of vaccinations in the country coupled with the significant reticence of many anti-vax French has hindered efforts to reach a level of total vaccination that will lead to herd immunity (as of the end of July roughly 60% of the country is fully vaccinated).Īs has been the rule in most aspects of this pandemic for French President Macron, the implementation of the pass sanitaire has been slow, convoluted, and mismanaged. This is in reaction to the quick rise in new cases caused by the much more contagious Delta variant, which has created a fourth wave in the country (a month ago our national daily new caseload was around 2,500, but as of the end of July the daily average is tenfold).

Beginning in August, France will require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for anyone who wishes to go to a restaurant, bar, museum, or movie theater - among other activities or destinations.
