General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Being under French curatelle or tutelle does not, by itself, establish who decides about each healthcare act. The measure’s scope concerning the person must be checked.
The protected adult receives information adapted to their understanding. A personal representative receives it too; a person appointed to assist may receive it with the adult’s explicit agreement.
Even with legal representation concerning the person, an adult able to express their wishes gives their own consent to the act, with assistance if necessary.
If that ability is absent, the person appointed to provide this representation authorises the act while taking account of the protected adult’s expressed views.
Before vaccination or other care, show the clinician the applicable measure and useful contact details. A relative’s booking does not prove their authority to represent the adult.
In a disagreement within this framework, except in an emergency, the judge determines who may decide. Ask the clinician to clarify the steps for the specific situation.

Flu and Covid-19: the 2026–2027 campaign
The national flu and Covid-19 vaccination campaign starts on 13 October 2026. In Doctolib, choose “Vaccination antigrippale (Grippe)” or “Vaccination COVID-19” for the vaccination you want to discuss.
Bring your carte Vitale and, for flu, your coverage voucher if you have one. The professional checks the recommendations and coverage conditions that apply to you.
The pharmacy checks whether vaccination and coverage apply based on the vaccine, your age and your circumstances.
