Vaccination against the coronavirus in France, like in other European Union member states, started on December 27, 2020, with 4 COVID-19 jabs approved by the country's health authorities so far. According to country's government spokesperson Gabriel Attal, 50% of adult French citizens will have received the first dose of the vaccine by the middle of June.
