The Health Pass or Pass Sanitaire is essentially a way of proving your Covid-19 status in order to enter public events and establishments. Initially launched in July 2021, the Health Pass has now become French law and will continue to be used until a minimum of July 31st, 2022, although it may well be extended beyond this date. Watch France 24
as it shows the Health Pass in action.
As the USA and other non-EU countries are not part of the EU digital travel pass, those countries’ vaccination certificates do not have QR codes that are compatible with the French health pass. This means that visitors from outside the European Union need to obtain a European code before they can use the health pass. Who can get the pass?
This applies to anyone who was vaccinated outside the EU. What passport you hold is largely irrelevant, although French citizens vaccinated in the USA do have their own separate system.
In order to apply for the French QR code you must beover the age of 12
fully vaccinated with either Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson vaccines
Those vaccinated with Sinopharm or Sinovac can get a French code if they have had a single top-up dose of either Pfizer or Moderna. Those vaccinated with Sputnik, or any other vaccines not recognized by the WHO, need two doses of either Pfizer or Moderna before they are accepted as fully vaccinated in France.
