Vaccinations help to re-open France after pandemic lock-downs

Last spring, France began vaccinating millions of people to protect them from the coronavirus. Eluiza and Olga received their shots in May and June. (Olga was quick to tell the doctor that the Pfizer vaccines came from her hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan USA.) France re-opened the country after its third lock-down in May with a four-stage process based on numbers of cases. In June, many travel restrictions to and from other countries had been lifted. Life is gradually getting back to normal—and people seem to be appreciating it.
