Covid France: Will I get proof of my vaccination?
France is aiming to vaccinated between 2.4 and 4 million people by the end of February. Each one will receive proof they have been vaccinated
Reader question: What proof will I have that I have been vaccinated? Will each person get a certificate, will it be logged on my Ameli account through the carte vitale?
Everyone who receives the Covid-19 vaccine will receive a certificate of vaccination after each dose.
An operator at the Covid-19 helpline in France said he believes that the information will be added to everyone’s Ameli account as well.
France’s public rollout of the vaccination campaign began on January 18, opening for those aged over 75 and those at high risk of developing serious forms of Covid-19.
