Arpège says vaccination certificate or negative tests may be considered "pass sanitaire"...
|
I managed to get a vaccination Pass Sanitaire today with my CDC card near Marne-la-Vallée. The pharmacist was initially hesitant and did not think it would work, but we somehow managed to convince her to try. She said the system has been very buggy lately and was surprised that she was able to get into the correct screen for foreigners. We were her first successful passes for someone vaccinated abroad. Quite relieved now, as we plan to visit a handful of other countries before heading home.

Is the worst case that you can get the pass if you are willing to take a test every 48 hours?
Anyway this could lead to a 10 day quarantine at your expense. For me, that would be the real "worst case." |

I was able to gleen this as the process to get a QR code based on a US vaccination record. Not tested, but more than I've seen before:
RECOGNITION OF COVID VACCINATION MADE ABROAD AND OBTAINING A QR CODE Vaccinations carried out as part of the French vaccination campaign, in France or abroad, must be recorded by the healthcare professional in Covid vaccine ( Ameli). Vaccinations performed outside this framework but with a vaccine authorized in France can also be recorded in the Covid Vaccine platform, only by an authorized healthcare professional (doctor, pharmacist, nurse, midwife and dental surgeon). Source: https://tousanticovid.stonly.com Process to follow : 1. Vaccine a. Enter the name of the vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna…) b. In the box next to it (“origin of the lot”) TYPE 'Other' c. CLICK on the option 'Other Lot' d. Enter the number of the foreign lot in the concomitant box. 2. Vaccination center a. TYPE 'Other' in the corresponding box. => It is very important to type 'Other…' in both boxes, otherwise it will not work. b. Postal code: enter 99, which then allows you to select the country. vs. For the United States, enter 99063. Follow the same sequence for a second dose, when applicable. The sheet with the QR Code appears and can be printed. I hope someone can try it and it works as we're due to arrive August 19. Do you happen to have a link to the original French page lest the pharmacist think this one louche? |

The French Secretary of State said yesterday that they will soon be opening a service at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where French nationals having been vaccinated abroad will be able to send their proof of vaccination, have it be authenticated and then be provided a French QR code that can be imported into the app:

I wonder what he means by "send" and how far in advance it will need to be done.

Has anyone been able to get a QR code pass sanitaire in Paris? If so, can you give information on the pharmacy or establishment where you were able to get it done?
Thank you |

The tweet above said the minister was going to have a call with pharmacies today. Hopefully that is part of the call and they can do it...
p.s. In the France 2 evening (20H) newscast yesterday, they had a small segment on someone who was vaccinated abroad but no QR code for the pass sanitaire and he was trying to go into movie theatres. He was declined. They said that they have strict guidelines to just accept the Pass sanitaire QR code. They explained how difficult it was for those fully vaccinated, but without the pass, to get into places that now require it. It was aimed at French expats, but nice to see the mainstream media is starting to pay more attention to this. Edit: found the link. Hope it works! https://www.francetvinfo.fr/sante/ma...s_4712577.html |

Anyway this could lead to a 10 day quarantine at your expense. For me, that would be the real "worst case." This is because most rapid tests are designed to favor specificity over sensitivity, the logic being you want to be absolutely sure that someone is actually positive before forcing them to quarantine. And even then most positive results from a rapid test will be confirmed by a PCR test before forcing you into quarantine. So over the course of a two week vacation, you'd be taking seven tests, which ups your chances of a false positive from 0.1% to roughly 0.7% using the worst-case numbers. That's less than one in a hundred. I guess it depends on each individual's risk tolerance, but for me I'd be fine taking that gamble if the alternative was not going on my trip. |
We were thinking about heading to France soon, but wow... this just seems like a hot steaming mess... :(

I feel what they are doing is the right thing. All countries need to make life difficult for the non vaccinated in order to encourage them to get the shot. But before putting this into place, they should have defined how their tourists and non residents can utilize the pass as well. Anyhow, more will be known by the end of the weekend as they iron out all the details ahead of passing this into law.

The TV news segment linked above is ONLY about expatriate French citizens vaccinated abroad. The two examples shown are, first, a Hong Kong resident vaccinated with Pfizer (and with a mostly Chinese print-out of some sort) and, second, a man vaccinated with Sputnik (and with a standard WHO yellow vaccine booklet). For them, no go. Also, the only instance of rejection shown is a local movie theater. No museum, no Eiffel Tower, no Disney. And also no mention of tourists. No mention of CDC cards either. Frankly, and to be blunt, I'm not impressed.
On the flip side, the Liberation story linked not once but twice above still flatly states, with Quai d'Orsay sources, that tourists without access to the Passe will be accommodated. Somehow most of the posts on this thread seem to pretend that this story didn't exist but, really, I think it's very, very important. We'll have to see, of course, but I've already stated my opinion: I wouldn't cancel anything. Obviously, I'm an optimist. |
