The recall dose will be compulsory for the validity of the health pass from January 15, 2022, within a maximum period of 7 months after your last injection.

During a speaking this Thursday, November 25, 2021, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran announced new health measures against the fifth wave of COV.Among them, there is the extension of the reminder dose to all adults since Saturday, November 27.This generalization of the vaccination recall has an impact on the health pass and its validity.

Here is what you need to know about the validity of the health pass according to your vaccination situation.And if you have received your third dose of recall, here is what changes (or not).

For those under 65: the health pass changes to January 15

You are eligible for the reminder dose from 5 months after your last injection - or your infection if you have been contaminated by the COVID.For example, if your latest injection dates from June 28, you are eligible for the recall dose from November 28.But there is also a maximum delay.

If you are under 65 years old, from January 15, 2022 your health pass will no longer be valid if you have not completed a recall dose within a maximum of 7 months after your last injection (or your infection).

Extract from Olivier Véran's press conference on Nov 25 2021.

Let's take our example: if you received your last dose dose on June 28, you are eligible from November 28, but that also means that on January 28, if you have not completed your dose of recall, your health passwill not work anymore.

Same rule for infection, because in this situation, it is the recovery certificate that makes your health pass valid.So you have 5 months at least and 7 months maximum from the date of your infection to carry out the reminder dose.This is also the case if you were infected after a single dose of vaccine.

Note that, during the press conference held this November 25, 2021, Olivier Véran added that the ALL anticovid app should normally alert you when your health pass expires, specifying how many weeks or days it remains before itsdeactivation.

For those over 65: December 15

For people over 65, the same rule applies, but the deadline from which the health pass can expire is December 15, 2021.

What if my vaccine health pass is no longer valid?

If by organizational unlucky you do not manage to make your dose of recall on time, your health pass will be disabled.You will then have to carry out a PCR or antigenic test.These are now valid for 24 hours, and no longer 72 hours, as a health pass.

Normally, even if you make the recall dose shortly after the deadline and your health pass is disabled at the expiration of the 7 months, it will reactivate after having integrated your dose of recall, including if this dose therefore comes indelay in relation to this period.
