Many French people have to download the new QR code this February 1st

The expiration date for confirmed vaccine passes was shown due to a technical problem. If you update your QR code, you will get the fix.

Despite the booster dose, the expiration date is displayed on TousAntiCovid. This detail, which is unusual, could be noticed by many French people who have undergone a complete vaccination program with a booster.

Their common thing: having tested positive for Covit-19 before the first dose or between the first and second dose. This February 1st, they will now benefit from the definitive vaccination pass.

The display of the expiration date despite the booster dose is related to the number of total quantities received by an individual. Because of the Covit-19 infection that occurred before or between the first and second doses, many French people eventually received only one dose to complete the initial vaccination schedule, usually in two doses. The booster dose is the second injection obtained later.

Specify “2/1”

Due to a misinterpretation of the data, Health Insurance until February 1 equated this situation to the French people receiving only two doses and seven months (soon four) withdrawal.

In other words, due to previous contamination, the system did not differentiate between individuals who received two doses without receiving their booster and those who received two doses but were considered to have received their booster.

As a reminder of this second dose approval, Health Insurance is offering a new QR code for download from the site on February 1st. attestation-vaccin.ameli.fr. It aims to replace the old. To take advantage of it, scan it with TousAntiCovid or use it in paper form.

As mentioned Health insurance websiteThis definite QR code is marked “2/1”, to distinguish it from the QR code of 2/2, reserved for non-polluting individuals and its first two doses should be given in addition to the dose reminder.

However, the condition of those who received the two initial doses was different, and then the infection occurred. In this case, the latter should carry out a booster dose four months after this contamination. In this case, the expiration date is very legal.
