Paris, April 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) France will offer a fourth Covid-19 vaccination shot to people over 60 years old who have already received their booster dose, a senior official said.
"We will be able to continue to provide the second booster dose for people aged 80 and above," Xinhua news agency quoted Minister for Health Olivier Veran as saying to French radio RTL.
"And we will be able to offer it for French people aged 60 and over, if their booster shots were administered six months ago," Veran said.
