After 4 months - what happens?

[curtis]

Thanks Liz, no I haven't checked on doctorlib cos I always gone direct to the pharmacie - looks like a may have to!

Surely a telephone call would have sorted it? Or have I missed something?

[Pachapapa]

Probably not. Any telephone call may only get an all the lines are occupied.
I have been trying to phone my local tax office for three weeks.

To obtain the new vaccine pass, a complete schedule (two doses or one, depending on the vaccine) will be required. Starting February 15, a booster dose will be required four months – and not the existing seven months – after the previous dose for the pass to remain valid.
@Sparkle

The above paragraph noting a change of rules on February 15th 2022 requires further clarification. This will become clearer after the new law appears in the Journel Officiel next week. I'll keep an eye out for it.

@curtis no, you've not missed anything - the phone if answered goes over to voicemail. As I've not had a reply to what is now two emails or my hand posted letter I don't see the point in leaving a voice mail. OH called in for me yesterday but the lady that does the jabs wasn't there and the assistant couldn't help - I like this pharmacie and the ladies who work there very much but I'm beginning to have doubts and looking at pages-jaunes the pharmacie appears to have changed name so perhaps that's the problem. There is another pharmacie in the village but they offer you pfizer not Moderna and I don't know if you should mix the two and I'd rather stick with moderna.

To all of you that have posted I want to say thank you so very much. You have given me a lot of information and a lot to read through and get my head round.

no problem mixing - indeed a number of sources suggest this may be beneficial, although this seems to be particularly true if AZ was given in the first rounds.

WE had Pfizer in the first rounds and Moderna for the booster.

Before I posted the question here I think I'd possibly been reading far too much from different sources ie France 24, The Local, Connexion etc and totally confused myself. So again thanks to all of you for your comments on how to go about getting my booster and to @Blaze who posted the link below - all now is far clearer and why I didn't think to look at the gov.fr site originally escapes me (I'm giving up in dry jan my brain's gone to mush ) So I thought for anyone who may be interested here's the link again in english - you can choose to read in english or french - I always go english where possible when it's something of importance to make sure I've understood correctly. I'm probably sounding like I'm going over the top with my thanks but I can't express enough how you've all calmed my panic!

@Sparkle I didn't know there was a link in English, but then I've never looked for one ! Thank you for adding it

We have people coming in who've had different vaccines, including Sputnik and Sinopharm. If the medical staff thought there'd be any problem mixing with the vaccine of that day, they would recommend they came on another day when a different vaccine was being used. But I haven't heard of that happening at our centre.

@Sparkle
I have copied below a Warning paragraph from the english translation of the *gouv. fr* website mentioned by yourself.
Copy:
Warning : As of February 15, 2022, the time limits for keeping your pass will be reduced, you will have to do your booster dose 4 months, not 7 months, after your 2e dose to have a complete vaccination plan and maintain a valid health pass.
This seems to confirm that the time limit is reduced from 7 months to 4 months. If your date of 2nd dose WAS 30/09/2021, as I suspect, then the LAST day of January 2022 would be the latest date to keep your PASSE valid.
Please arrange a rendez-vous using Tous Anti Covid or Vite Ma Dose for a date not later than 31st January 2022.
NOTA BENE. 31/01/22 is a monday and many Vaccination Centres like Parthenay close on Friday afternoon and only open on Tuesday morning after an extended weekend.
Bon Courage.

@Pachapapa thanks for the info.
