France switches to "hidden" vaccination

France's possible shift from sanitary passes to immunization certificates is "a hidden form of mandatory vaccination," French Health Minister Olivier Veran said in a video interview posted on Twitter by Brut on Saturday.

"The certificate of vaccination is a hidden form of mandatory vaccination, but more effective", he said.

Further, the head of the department drew attention to the fact that "banning unvaccinated people from going to bars, restaurants" and other public places is a more effective measure than fines, TASS reports.
