vaccine booster shots in nursing homes from September 12 or
September 13 onwards, Prime Minister Jean Castex said on
Thursday.

medical conditions will be able to book appointments for a
booster shot from early September, Castex told RTL radio, adding
there must be a six-month delay between the second and the third

aged 65 and over and for those with existing medical conditions
