In France, the campaign for the third dose is underway
It should be noted that in some EU countries the anti-Covid vaccination campaign for the so-called “third dose” has already started. On September 1 it was launched in France for older and vulnerable people, with the aim of compensating for the decline in vaccine efficacy several months after taking the first dose. “With this reminder, you will be armed for months to come,” said Health Minister Olivier Véran, speaking to a person who was about to receive a third dose during a visit to a Parisian vaccination center. Speaking to the press, the minister specified that 200,000 people have already made an appointment for the booster dose. The campaign launched in France concerns, in particular, immunosuppressed over-80s and other individuals deemed to be at high risk for Covid, such as cancer patients undergoing treatment or patients undergoing dialysis.
