Annual Vaccination Campaign: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how seniors over 65 can access free annual vaccinations through the national health campaign in France.

This campaign provides seasonal vaccinations to help protect the health of older citizens through a national health initiative.

Who it's for

This scheme is available to all seniors who are over the age of 65. It is designed specifically to support this age group in maintaining their health through regular, seasonal protection.

What you get

You receive the vaccine at no cost. The medicine is administered by a trained professional, such as a pharmacist or a nurse, to ensure the process is handled safely and correctly. This service covers both the vaccine itself and the professional administration of the shot.

What it costs you

There is no cost to you for this service. To ensure you do not have to pay out of pocket, you must use the specific voucher sent to you by the health insurance fund.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that you must bring the specific voucher (known locally as a Bon de vaccination) provided by your health insurance fund to your appointment. Without this document, you may encounter difficulties accessing the free service.

How to apply

  1. Monitor your mail for the vaccination voucher sent by your health insurance fund.
  2. Locate a nearby pharmacist or a nurse in your area.
  3. Contact the provider to schedule an appointment for your vaccination.
  4. Present your vaccination voucher (Bon de vaccination) when you arrive for your appointment.
