PARIS (Reuters) – France aims to have administered a third shot of a COVID-19 vaccine to some 18 million people by early 2022, a health ministry official said on Tuesday.

Last week, France’s top health advisory body (HAS) recommended a booster shot for those aged 65 and over and for those with existing medical conditions that put them at risk.

“Those eligible for a booster shot have been able to make appointments since Monday this week. We see this as a genuine health requirement to extend protection, as some studies demonstrate,” the official said.

“We are talking of around 18 million people who are currently eligible for a third dose. We hope to see some 12.4 million get this booster shot by year-end and the rest at the beginning of next year.”

Government data shows nearly 72% of the total French population had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Aug 30. A little more than 65% had received two doses or one dose after having been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Of course anyone who wants it should get it.
It’s this weird thing called freedom and personal decision making.

Has anyone done safety studies on third doses at 8 months?

It’s a third shot but not a vaccine. The fact they’re injecting a “booster” officially confirms it’s not a vaccine.

Basically, if you’ve been “fully vaxxed” but now are required to take a third “vaxx”:

welcome back to the ranks of the “unvaxxed.”
