Slightly more than one in two young Ile-de-France residents received their two doses, synonymous with a complete vaccination schedule and obtaining the health pass.
It’s the turn of the 12-17 year olds. In the same way as their elders, teenagers are subject from this Thursday, September 30 to the presentation of the health pass to go to the cinema, to the restaurant, to cultural and sporting places. Initially scheduled for August 30, the entry into force of the pass for the youngest had been postponed to September 30 after a vote by deputies in July.
“Young minors must therefore be provided with the QR code attesting to a complete vaccination, a negative test of less than 72 hours or a certificate of recovery from Covid-19 dating from at least 11 days and less than 6 months.“Explains the public service site. A small clarification, however: the health pass will not be required for adolescents from the age of 12 years and 2 months. A precision that the site details. “The two-month period is granted in order to allow adolescents barely 12 years old on September 30, 2021 to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19“.
To note that “for sports activities, the health pass will apply, indoors and outdoors, except in schools (…) since there is no health pass in the school environment“, explained the Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer on September 28, 2021 with our colleagues from Franceinfo. A notion that National Education recalled yesterday on social networks.
#COVID19 | From Thursday, September 30, 2021, teenagers from 12 years and 2 months old must present a #PassSanitaire to go to the places and events where it is required.
Remember #PassSanitaire is not necessary to go to a school
