Yes landside. You can email the T2 pharmacy if you have questions at [email protected] or call +33(0)1.48.62.62.00

I did a bit more digging on this. I cannot find them in the database (here: https://www.sante.fr/obtenir-un-pass...tion-letranger ), but it may be because of syntax errors in my search request. However all 3 pharmacies at CDG T2 offer conversion of foreign vaccination records in to French passes.

I can't get these entries to come up on the site itself, but they are in the database:

2D https://www.sante.fr/pharmacie-dofficine/tremblay-en-france/pharmacie-ibghei

2F https://www.sante.fr/pharmacie-doffi...harmacie-du-2f

2E https://www.sante.fr/pharmacie-dofficine/roissy-en-france/pharmacie-lahmi

As mentioned above, they are all outside security so unless a connection is sufficiently long to get landside and then back airside, it may be limited use/opportunity when connecting in CDG.

Here’s my data point: I went to a pharmacy in Ile Saint-Louis which was listed on the government website and obtained my updated pass. They found my existing pass in the system, updated it with my booster and printed a new certificate all within 5 minutes. The pharmacy even had a sign in the window advertising foreign vaccination record conversion. Got the feeling they liked the easy €€€€.

Same thing in the window at a pharmacy on the left hand side of the Pompidou Center.

How long does it take for the pharmacy to do CDC--->Passe Sanitaire? Is this while you wait, or next day?

It can be done within a few minutes.

Fwiw, I've written to the couple of writers that have mentioned the "5-7 months after second shot for the booster" thing on TPG, and asked them to correct it, since I think it is causing unnecessary agita for a lot of folks. Hopefully that will be updated on there....

Hi - does anyone here happen to know if someone already in France, with what I presume now to be an expired French QR based on a US vaccination which was converted before the pharmacies were doing it, can take a third/booster dose within France to restore the pass?

And if so, where? I’ve not been in the US since shortly after receiving my full course of Pfizer last spring, and don’t have any immediate plans to be in the US again. So, for awhile now, I’ve been trying to figure out where I can get my third shot without having to go to the US.

just book a third shot at any vaccination center through Doctolib or Vitemadose. Go there with your US vaccine certificate and they should be able to add your first and second dose as if they were made in France, backdated with your actual vaccination dates. That’s what they did for us. Your first and second dose documents should include a lot number. Might be a bit more challenging if they don’t mention it.

Just wanted to say thank you - I did exactly that.
Booked into the nearest point available near me, went well documented… they did need the lot numbers off my existing record (which I had in a scan of my original card), so this information seems not to be recorded when they processed my card back in September to issue my previous pass sanitaire. It seemed like they opened a brand new file that stored all three vaccine doses and dates, then generated the necessary paper for me.
The location was not crowded, so all efficient and very friendly. I’m sure it helps that my French is quite good, so apart from understanding things pretty easily, I was able to joke around with them during some of the wait and also thank them for taking the time to do with care something they don’t necessarily do every day.
All in all, an excellent result.

Happy to know it all went :)! What you initially did was a “conversion” of your US pass. What they now did is essentially create a persona in the French SS system. They should have given you 3 pieces of papers on top of the “pass” - called vaccination record. Do keep them preciously as I’m sure you’ll need at least the last one in the US to have your 3rd dose recorded in the US if you ever need to ;)

Well, they gave me one paper apart from the pass itself, signed by a doctor, confirming administration of the third dose, the date, and the doctor confirming that she had advised patient that the vaccination cycle of three doses is completed… understanding better now what it is, I will indeed put it somewhere very safe. I also have of course kept digital scans of everything from before and now.

They didn’t give me any papers explicitly reflecting the first and second doses, but then I have kept documentation of that from the original doses administered in the US. I’ll see what I would need when I’m back in the US, but (somewhat unfortunately for the US) that’s probably one of the places on the globe where it will make the least difference.

I am impressed with the vaccination/testing infrastructure in France. I like that I can scan a QR code, enter my contact details, take the test and in 30 minutes have the results sent to my phone/email.
