Every French resident aged over 75 will be eligible for a coronavirus vaccination from January 18, Prime Minister Jean Castex has announced.
The broadening of the target group is part of a plan to speed up the immunization program, which has begun at a much slower pace than those of France's European neighbours.
The government says it is hoping that a million people will have received their first inoculation by the end of January.
It also aims to have 600 vaccination centers open by that time.
