So the doctor of unlimited assistance groups has established this summer tent in Northeast Paris to vaccinate migrants, homeless people and others without access to state or private health insurance.
Help groups take similar actions in other countries too.
“People think that these people don’t need a vaccine passport, ” Cristiana Castro, who oversees doctors without covid surgery in France, told the Associated Press.
But” they often need to access public places for housing, administrative processes, And they worry that one day passport will be asked to access it, and it creates a lot of anxiety.

The only single dose vaccine available, by Johnson & Johnson, was not authorized in France for those under 55 years old, so it was not an option for operations like this.
