It puts the vaccination of 30,000 people, many of them vulnerable people with underlying medical conditions, on the long finger.
The decision to pause the rollout comes as Covid cases begin to spike again across Europe with a new virus patient admitted to ICU every 12 minutes in Paris, according to French Health Minister Olivier Véran.
