France to open COVID-19 vaccination to all adults before June 15

France will bring forward the date from which all people over 18 can get vaccinated against COVID-19 from the originally planned date of June 15, a government source said on Thursday.

The source said that French Prime Minister Jean Castex will announce the new date during a visit to a vaccination centre later on Thursday.

The government has recently relaxed conditions and age limits for getting the vaccine in order to remain on track to meeting its vaccination targets.
