“I have already received my first two doses. I contracted Covid-19 on November 16. I should do my booster on February 16th. However, I have a trip scheduled for the 18th. My vaccination pass will not be active since the 7-day deadline will not be reached. Can I get vaccinated a little earlier? “, asks Frédéric, a reader from Lyon (Rhône).
