French Health authority says people previously infected with Covid-19 only need one shot of the vaccine




The French Health Authority has reportedly suggested that people previously infected with Covid-19 only need one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

According to BBC News, the French Health Authority has said that those who previously contracted the virus should have some immunity requiring them only to need a single dose.

The authority also suggests that a single dose of the vaccine should be given 3 to 6 months later to those who have been previously infected.

The advice comes after the French Government have reported 3.4 million cases of Covid-19 since the pandemic began last March.

According to Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS), people who have previously contracted the virus develop an immune memory and a single dose should act as a booster.

Although four studies have been carried out on the effectiveness of a single dose on previously infected patients, neither HAS or the French Government have announced any changes to the current Covid-19 vaccination plan.
