France's vaccine chief Alain Fischer said on Tuesday he hoped the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine could be rolled out in the country by mid-February.
France's High Authority for Health is due to present its analysis of the vaccine and the French health secretary says he will base the government's strategy for the AstraZeneca jab on that report.
The vaccine has already been approved by the European Union and it will become the third one in mass circulation across the bloc, following the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna jabs, which were approved at the end of 2020 and early last month.
