- People aged 65 and over;
- Infants from 6 months, children, adolescents and adults with comorbidities at higher risk of severe disease;
- Immunocompromised people;
- People with any other comorbidity, taking into account the individual medical situation, within the framework of a medical decision shared with the healthcare team;
- People living in the environment or in regular contact with immunocompromised or vulnerable people, including professionals in the health and medico-social sectors;
For mobilization and logistical reasons, HAS recommends coupling this vaccination campaign with that of influenza, and considering that the start date of the campaign against Covid-19 is determined by the start date of vaccination against seasonal influenza;
