The French Parliament approved a law on July 26 that would mandate a special COVID-19 vaccine pass and require all health care workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
The new law, which was proposed just six days ago, requires all health care sector workers to begin getting vaccinated by Sept. 15 or risk suspension. It also requires a vaccine passport-like “health pass” to enter planes, trains, restaurants, and some other public venues. All adults will have to comply with the mandate beginning in August, and everyone aged 12 and older will have to abide by it starting Sept. 30.
