There are no plans to vaccinate under-12s against Covid, France鈥檚 education minister has said.

It is 鈥渘ot on the agenda,鈥� said Jean-Michel Blanquer yesterday, on a visit to the Hauts-de-Seine department.

He added: 鈥淭oday the objective is to get over-12s vaccinated in France.鈥�

More than half of 12-17-year-olds have had at least one dose this summer, the minister said.

鈥淢ore than 30% have had two doses now, which is a good sign for a school year which will be as normal as possible.鈥�

Health rules for schools at the rentr茅e, in two weeks鈥� time, will be announced in the coming days.

From next month there will be dedicated vaccination campaigns aimed at school pupils who have not had a jab, though there will be no obligation. The health pass will not be required for attending school.
