Frédérique Vidal announced Wednesday on France Info the maintenance of the partial face-to-face in September. On this occasion, the Minister of Higher Education and Research notably underlined the fact that a very large part of the students were vaccinated. “The students have been extremely responsible, over 92% of them are vaccinated. When they are contacted and vaccinated, they can go to examinations ”, she asserted. New rules regarding isolation rules are expected this Friday, but for now, it should be noted that a contact case of a person infected with the omicron variant is required to isolate himself.
The health protocol has demonstrated its robustness in slowing down viral circulation. With nearly 92% of students vaccinated, higher education benefits from significant vaccination coverage and it will continue with new vaccination solutions on campuses.

You ask how the minister can find out about the vaccination status of students. “It is the vaccination rate of 18-24 year olds, which is the representative age group of students”, simply indicates the ministry, contacted by CheckNews. As of December 29, 91.7% of this category had a complete vaccination schedule, or nearly 5 million people, 22.3% had received a booster. The 18-24 year olds are obviously not all enrolled in higher education (and the students are not all in this age group), this measurement is therefore necessarily a little approximate. For 25-29 year olds, the vaccination rate is very close, with 90.3% of complete vaccination schedules on the same date (21.9% having received a booster dose).
