“Scientists tell us that to benefit from the pass, we must have been exposed at least three times, that our immune system has been targeted at least three times,” he said. “This stimulation can be an injection or an infection” and “at least you must have received a dose of vaccine”.
One infection = one injection
Thus, “you will keep the benefit of the vaccination pass” if “you have had one injection and two infections, or two injections and one infection (whether the latter took place before the injections, between the two injections or after), or three injections “.
But people who have had only one dose of vaccine and a single infection must absolutely receive a second dose within four months after the previous exposure to the virus, detailed the minister. In theory, they could also seek to be infected (and therefore have a total of three exposures to the virus) but this involves a health risk for the person.
INFOGRAPHIC: all the scenarios faced with obtaining the vaccination pass
Valid vaccination pass with two injections: can I still perform the third?
Even with a valid vaccination pass in the event of two injections and an infection, the government reminds on the “All anti Covid” application that benefiting from a third injection of vaccine is “warmly recommended” and therefore nothing opposes this that you make an appointment to benefit from it.
7 million people without a vaccination pass on February 15?
In addition, Olivier Véran recalled that 7 million people currently risk losing their vaccination pass on February 15, if they do not take a booster dose. In New Aquitaine, a total of 560,000 inhabitants could lose their vaccination pass by February 15, i.e. more than 11% of the population.
