Hello,

I am moving across to France with my wife and 3 month old little one. We have had his first set of vaccinations but how do we go about getting the rest of his vaccinations when he needs them? Your help/advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hello,

Everything is taken care of by the French public services. Here is a French website (to translate with google) that explains the whole procedure. https://www.service-public.fr/particuli … roits/F967

And here is another French website that gives you the addresses of all the vaccination centers on the territory. https://www.mesvaccins.net/web/vaccinations_centers/all

Of course, some vaccines can also be administered by general practitioners.

Hello,

Thank you for the links, they are really useful, however, I may be being stupid here so forgive me for it, but it says it is 100% covered by health insurance, does that mean that you pay there and then and have to claim expenses back later? Also do you register for all of this through CPAM?

Thanks in advance
