New vaccination policy implemented

A new policy allows doctors, nurses, and midwives in France to store vaccines in their offices for patients who are recommended to receive them, as part of a campaign against seasonal flu and Covid-19 launched on October 13.

Simpler process for patients

This change means patients no longer need to visit a pharmacy to get their vaccine before a healthcare professional administers it, making the vaccination process more straightforward and convenient.

Targeted vaccination efforts

Three out of ten French citizens are targeted for influenza vaccination due to an increased risk of severe illness, according to health guidelines.

Goal to improve coverage

The policy aims to increase overall vaccination rates by reducing barriers to access and making it easier for eligible individuals to receive their shots.
