In Paris, Health Minister Olivier Veran said that COVID-19 booster shots, until now only available to people over 65 or with health problems, would be accessible to all adults starting this weekend.
From January 15, people over 18 would need to show proof of a top-up vaccine dose to maintain a valid COVID pass, which is required to enter restaurants, bars, gyms and other public venues.
