Paris [France], January 17 (ANI/Sputnik): The French parliament voted on Sunday to back COVID-19 vaccine passes after two weeks of debates, in a move that will further limit access to public services and transport.
The lower-chamber National Assembly endorsed the government's controversial proposal to turn COVID-19 health passes into vaccine passes by a 215-58 vote, with seven abstentions.
From Monday, the French will be required to receive at least two vaccine shots -- three if the second one was administered more than seven months ago -- to use public transport and access public spaces. A negative PCR test will no longer suffice. (ANI/Sputnik)
