Your situation

  • You have a child aged 5 to 11 years
Edit

Children aged 5 to 11 years can be vaccinated except those with contraindications (e.g. pediatric multi-systemic inflammatory syndrome).

To find out if your child is affected by the annual dose and where to get vaccinated, you can consult the ministry of health page dedicated to this issue.

However, if your child is not in the target, they can still receive a free vaccination.

FYI  

The 2 vaccination campaigns against Covid and against influenza are conducted at the same time.

Your child aged 5 to 11 years can be vaccinated with the authorization of the persons with parental authority:

  • Both parents if they exercise it jointly unless it is impossible for one of the two parents to obtain the agreement of the other parent
  • Or the guardian.

A simulator can be used to find a vaccination site:
