Can some kind person explain what happens when the 4 months is up to get a booster ie do I fall out of the system etc? My 4 months is up 31st Jan. I've emailed and sent a letter by hand to my local pharmacie asking for a rendez-vous for my booster where I had my 1st & 2nd jabs but I'm not getting a response. On checking pages jaunes it says the pharmacie is ferme and has done for several weeks but I know from talking to a local that the pharmacie is open - I'm beginning to panic - just a little!

have you checked for vacination centres near you on doctorlib?
You must get a booster to keep your pass saniataire/vaccinal valid

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

We were in the same position, our doctor done the first 2, astra, but seemed reluctant for the 3rd Pfizer one, whether it was a storage problem or not, we managed to get a walk in at a school, over 65 just walk in and get it. I am told that some of the "fully booked" vaccination centres might sort you if you just turn up as well, after all 2 minutes followed by a sit down for 15.

Thanks Hugh. I'm heading towards 67 so should be able to get one. Just about to check on doctolib for a rendez-vous. The nearest centres to me are 20 km so I have to get OH to drive me there as I don't drive which is why I prefer my local pharmacie about 3 kms - walkable!

@Sparkle
The doctolib site has always been difficult to make a RDV.
For that reason I have always used the application ViteMaDose which has plenty of server power unlike GP surgeries. The app gets to the SAME vaccination venues but quickly and efficiently. It is even possible for someone else to make an appointment for another person.

@Sparkle
The website of ViteMaDose.

After entering a search parameter a scroll down list will appear with vaccination addresses.

There is also the option in the TousAntiCovid app under Vaccination | I'm getting vaccinated! Then scroll down to Find a Center and out in your postcode. You will get a list of nearby centres. Clicking on a centre will take you to the Doctolib page to make the reservation.
