**Please note that this post is designed for students beginning their studies with us in September 2021**<\/p>\n

As an incoming students to our Paris School, you have a lot to do to prepare for your move to Paris. Vaccination procedures have been rolled out differently around the world and you may not have been able to be fully vaccinated before your departure. There is even talk in some countries, including France, of administering third doses of certain vaccines. As of this week, the French Haute Autorit\u00e9 de la Sant\u00e9 now recommends a third dose of the EU-approved vaccines for individuals over 65 years of age and those with underlying health conditions (see the official texts here<\/a>). The good news for all of our incoming students is that you do not have to be registered within the French national health system\/insurance scheme (Assurance maladie<\/em>) to get a vaccine in France. You do, however, have to be resident and demonstrate proof of residency.<\/p>\n

A French social security number is not required<\/strong> to get vaccinated and for free.\u00a0Foreign students can be vaccinated in France, but will need to prove your residency, in the form of a rental contract, signed letter of being hosted by an individual (attestation d’h\u00e9bergement<\/em>) or accommodation booking of three months or more.<\/p>\n
