President Emmanuel Macron is presiding over a virtual health meeting to discuss COVID-19 response measures while on vacation at his villa in Port de Br?gan?on in southern France on the 11th (local time).
France will begin administering COVID-19 booster shots starting next month.
Prime Minister Jean Castex stated on the 26th (local time) during an appearance on RTL radio that "people aged 65 and older will be able to make reservations for their third vaccine dose from early September."
Prime Minister Castex explained, "As time passes, the immunity effect of the COVID-19 vaccine decreases, so additional vaccinations are necessary."
He recommended that the booster shot should be given at least six months after the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
As of the 25th, more than 42.42 million people, equivalent to 62.9% of the total population in France, have completed their COVID-19 vaccination.
