Covid-19 in New Aquitaine: 11.6% of the population is likely to lose their vaccination pass – Sud Ouest

According to the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Health Agency, 560,294 people living in the region will find themselves in this situation if they do not update their vaccinations in the next ten days, i.e. 11.6% of the elderly population. 18 years and over.

It is in Charente-Maritime that latecomers are the most numerous (12.9%) and in Haute-Vienne that the share of the population likely to lose their pass is the lowest (9.5%).

The ARS recalls that people infected after two doses of vaccine keep their vaccine pass even without a booster dose, a Covid infection equivalent to an injection.

Finally, thanks to Pass + option, available on the TousAntiCovid application, people who embark on a vaccination course until February 15 have the temporary possibility of benefiting from a valid “vaccination pass”. This is valid for 24 hours, by combining a certificate of first vaccine injection with a negative test for Covid-19. This derogatory system then applies during the 28-day period before the injection of the second dose of vaccine, provided that the test is repeated each time.

4% of 5-11 year olds in the region received a dose

While most parents are reluctant to have their children vaccinated, the ARS organize a webinar Wednesday February 9 at 8:30 p.m. open to families. All the topics will be covered: the safety, the efficacy of the vaccine, the individual interest for the child, the possible adverse effects, etc.

In New Aquitaine, only 21,087 children have received a dose of vaccine (4% of children in the 5 to 11 age group) and 9,236 children (2%) are completely vaccinated.
