All adults in France are now eligible for Covid-19 vaccinations. Previously, only people over the age of 50, workers exposed to the virus and younger adults with comorbidities were given the vaccine. France on Monday opened up Covid-19 vaccines to all adults, a week before Germany, as Europe races to avoid another wave of infections caused by new virus variants. Until now, people over 50, workers in professions particularly exposed to the virus and younger adults with underlying health problems were given priority. The government is hoping that the 76.7 million vaccines that it is expecting to receive in June will help it meet demand.
