“Parliament adopted, after 2 weeks of debate, a 12th piece of legislation regarding the management of the health crisis. With the vaccination pass, France has a new tool to protect our fellow citizens,” French Health Minister Olivier Véran said on Sunday.
The new regulation took more than two weeks of debate between the National Assembly and the Senate and was approved with 215 votes in favor and 58 against. The new law could come into force as early as next week.
The new regulation reaches all tourists, therefore, also Argentine travelers. Those who want to travel must present a complete vaccination certificate to move within the country and participate in cultural events or enter venues, bars and restaurants.
The vaccination pass will prevent the access of the unvaccinated to key spaces for recreational activity or for assistance at work, such as trains, restaurants or cinemas. That is to say: only those who have the complete immunization schedule will be able to attend these places or use these services, a requirement that -predictably- will not apply to access to health services.
The current pass, on the other hand, included the possibility of presenting a negative test or having recently overcome the disease. The new document will be required from the age of 16, while those under 12 to 15 years of age will continue to be asked for the current health pass.
The implementation of the vaccination pass was scheduled for January 15 but was delayed when disagreements arose between legislators over the different versions of the rule, although Macron’s expression at the beginning of the year about wanting to “annoy even the end” to the unvaccinated.
Once the change is approved, those who choose not to be vaccinated will have restricted access to all kinds of cultural events -such as cinemas, theaters or concerts- and also social spaces -bars and restaurants- and even medium and long-distance transport, which would practically reduce Zero your social life, or at least complicate it.
The France 24 site detailed that the penalties will also increase for those who are discovered with a false vaccine passport, with penalties of up to a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros.
