(MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES USED IN THIS POST INCLUDING FRANCE 24, BFM-TV OTHERS)



           (UPDATED TO REFLECT FINAL LEGISLATIVE VOTES THIS WEEKEND)



In France the "Pass Sanitaire (Health Pass)" is giving way to the new stricter "Pass Vaccinale (Vaccine Pass)".


The new rules mean one must be "fully vaccinated" or recently recovered to be allowed into public venues in France with the testing option of the old pass gone.


Final legislative action in France's National Assembly and Senate underway this weekend to make the Vaccine Pass law.    


The government's goal was to have the pass in place today (Saturday January 15th).
