As destinations around the world contemplate the best ways to inspire people to get vaccinated, France is perhaps taking the boldest route of them all.
On Monday, it announced that all people - both travelers and residents - will need to present a “health pass” in order to eat out at restaurants, use public transportation, enter public venues, and travel throughout the country.
The “health pass” is simply proof of vaccination, either in digital or paper form. The law is set to go into effect on September 15th for all adults, and starting September 30th, it will apply to everyone 12 and order.
As of now, the legislation is written for those who have been vaccinated in France, and further instruction will be coming in terms of how the country will handle vaccinations administered in other countries - aka, instructions for how an international traveler can prove their vaccination status.
It’s not uncommon to see destinations offer vaccinated travelers less-restricted access. Hawaii, for example, is allowing vaccinated travelers to skip a pre-test and avoid quarantine.
However, France is unique in that it will require a vaccination to embark on individual experiences, such as riding public transportation or dining at a restaurant.
Proponents of the new law are touting its responsibility and public safety, while critics see it as an overstep of government power.
In the coming days, we expect more information to be released regarding the specifics and details of the bill for international travelers.
But the bottom line is: If you plan to travel to France in the coming months, you will need to be vaccinated - no and, ifs, or buts.
