Three out of four people are vaccinated
The vaccination rate is increasingly encouraging: the symbolic 75% mark has been reached. Three out of four people over the age of twelve (the population eligible for vaccination) have received at least one dose. Vaccination is necessary to obtain a valid health pass, the obligation of which was extended on 23 August.
The figures are also reassuring in the Alpes-Maritimes, where 77% of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. This figure is higher than the French national average of 72%.
