French Parliament Backs COVID-19 Vaccine Passes

PARIS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th January, 2022) The French parliament voted on Sunday to back COVID-19 vaccine passes after two weeks of debates, in a move that will further limit access to public services and transport.

The lower-chamber National Assembly endorsed the government's controversial proposal to turn COVID-19 health passes into vaccine passes by a 215-58 vote, with seven abstentions.

From Monday, the French will be required to receive at least two vaccine shots � three if the second one was administered more than seven months ago � to use public transport and access public spaces. A negative PCR test will no longer suffice.
