This is a “key stage” cto avoid a new wave of pandemics in the country, at a time when restrictions are gradually being lifted.

“I am absolutely convinced that we will see a lot of people being vaccinated” “The expansion of the immunization campaign is a key step in protecting the population and returning to an increasingly normal life,” said Alain Fischer, head of the vaccination campaign in France.

According to AMPE, 25,431,357 people in France have received at least one dose of covid-19 vaccine, ie 38% of the total population and 48.4% of adults, of whom 10,777,150 have received both doses.

In Germany, after a difficult start, the vaccination campaign is accelerating. According to the Robert Koch Institute, 41% of adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine and almost 16% both.

In France Without mass vaccination, the epidemic could flare up again because the arrival of new, more contagious strains increases the percentage of the population that needs to be vaccinated, the Pasteur Arno epidemiologist warned in the Journal du Dimanche.
