PARIS, April 30 (Reuters) - All people in France aged 18 and over will be able to get COVID-19 vaccines from June 15 onwards, said French President Emmanuel Macron on his Twitter feed on Friday, as the country aims to ease its way out of its third COVID lockdown.

France is hoping that an accelerated, vaccination campaign will enable it to re-open more businesses, shops and other leisure activities.

This Wednesday 28 April 2021 (consolidated data), 14,900,784 people have been given the first dose of the vaccine in France, namely 22.20% of the population. 6,320,274 people have been given the second dose of vaccine, namely 9.40% of the population.

Apart from a few terminally afraid callers I've heard on LBC, all the people I see and know are over the moon and enjoying getting back to normal. Do you really believe a lot are hiding away?

Sadly there are a number who will not go back to work as long as the government keeps paying them just as there were a slightly smaller number before the pandemic

 

[bobk]

Yes.

Back to 50,000 cases a day in 2 weeks then .

Don't know, Prefecture etc. is open.

 

[bobk]

No they are certainly not, but that is mainly because of delays in vaccination & the fact of open borders to Italy etc, their economy has suffered no where near as much as ours.
Locking down counties like Devon & Cornwall etc when there is virtually zero cases & has been like that for some time is total madness, any cases we do have are from people outside of the county travelling down, it would have been so much less harmful to restrict travel & open counties a few at a time.

Maybe you go and live there if it's that wonderful

From April the 24th J and J vaccine is made available to all French people over 55 years of age in Pharmacies. Since Johnson & Johnson only requires one dose, its use is expected to greatly improve France's herd immunity process.

This new vaccine was highly awaited in Europe. All in all, the EU has ordered - so far - 200 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and potentially 200 million more. France has ordered eight million doses of the vaccine expected to help the country exit the third wave .
French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi announced on Monday that it will produce as many as 120 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine.
Sanofi has granted Johnson & Johnson access to its manufacturing plant in Marcy l'Etoile, near the French city of Lyon, to produce the single-dose vaccine "at a rate of approximately 12 million doses per month."
France will prioritize the J and J vaccine in its overseas territories due to its single dose requirement.

Sweden has announced it will take three weeks longer than expected to offer all adults their first Covid-19 jab after it decided not to use the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

This means there are not enough vaccine supplies to meet the mid-August target. The government is now aiming for 5 September, Health Minister Lena Hallengren said.

The country's health authority has said under-65s should not get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to reports of extremely rare blood clots.

It’s not at all bad

It isn't , but he doesn't know that , get's his info from the Guardian ....

As I say, probably just them - someone utters “vacances” and I just glaze over, esp in May

Don't you believe it, spent many a happy day in France & Switz talking with lucky fellow farmers.

Can't think I'd rather farm anywhere else. Poddling happily onLeaning on the gate and talking cows with my neighbour yesterday. Can't beat it, who'd swap it for an office in town!

End of September they may get a shock.

Well, it’s certainly nice not having to chain down electric fence units (and still “loosing” them)

Maybe we should export a few of our people of no fixed abode to France where the easy pickings are. We have a few spare rubber boats and we are looking for new exports.

I do sometimes wonder about popping up to Calais and offering a few somewhere to reside. Just doesn’t seem fair to have so much space just to ourselves .
Btw, the non stop losses I used to suffer had nothing to do with folk arriving in rubber boats.

No, they probably originated from another place just over the water.

Yep, there were lots in our area but then there are in most. Funnily enough, well rather annoyingly, my land was next to a disused railway. Now I had for many years a bit of a strange towny neighbour on it. Well, he was made an offer he couldn’t refuse and sold to caravan dwelling folk. You can imagine my dismay, but actually, for the two years they lived there, I had no trouble at all

Were any of them named after a condiment that makes you sneeze? If so, some migrated eastward and are no trouble. They are not all the same but on balance.....
