When booking, please make sure you fill in the box where you are asked to state your country. This will deactivate the requirement to provide a French social security number. (This number is only required for French residents.)

Anybody eligible for a vaccine can receive one without an appointment at the Doctors’ Surgery located at Méribel’s Parc Olympique on Saturdays from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, starting on 18 December. This applied to both French and foreign nationals. For more information about the health pass : https://www.gouvernement.fr/info-coronavirus/pass-sanitaire

You can also receive a vaccine at the Meribel pharmacy in the center only on booking, by phone +33(0)4 79 06 63 59 everyday from 9am to 12pm and from 2.30 to 7pm (except on saturday morning).

In France, a COVID health pass (passe sanitaire) is issued to people who have tested negative or who have been fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines recognized by the European Medicines Agency or one of the equivalents to these vaccines.

HOW DO I OBTAIN A FRENCH HEALTH PASS?

• Visitors from the UK and EU* can use the QR code on their vaccination certificate to access the French health pass via the TousAntiCovid app.
• Non-EU visitors need to acquire a European code. This may be done in pharmacies in France. You should present your passport and the paper version of the original vaccination certificate in a pharmacy offering the service (a list is available on the Ministry for Solidarity and Health website). The Couelle Diernaz pharmacy (in Méribel Centre) offers this service for a fee of 36€.
• Alternatively, a temporary QR code valid 24 hours can also be generated by a healthcare professional following a negative RT-PCR or antigen test. These tests may be booked in advance at any of the local Covid test centres.
