The source said that French Prime Minister Jean Castex will announce the new date during a visit to a vaccination centre later on Thursday.
The government has recently relaxed conditions and age limits for getting the vaccine in order to remain on track to meeting its vaccination targets.

The French on Wednesday joyfully made their way back to cafés, cinemas and museums as the country loosened restrictions in a return to semi-normality after more than six months of Covid-19 curbs. The long-standing 7pm curfew was pushed back to 9pm.
Cafés and restaurants with terraces or rooftop gardens can now offer outdoor dining, under the second phase of a lockdown-lifting plan that should culminate in a full reopening of the economy on June 30.

Museums, cinemas and some theatres are also reopening after being closed for 203 days. Non-essential businesses from toys to clothes shops, which had been closed since early April, also reopened Wednesday.
The loosening of the restrictions comes as a severe third wave of Covid-19 infections continues to abate. The number of patients in intensive care fell to 3,862 on Wednesday, down from around 6,000 a month ago. Over the last seven days, the number of new cases has fallen by 18 percent.

After a slow start, the government's vaccination drive has accelerated, with more than 21.5 million people, nearly a third of the population, having received at least one shot.
"If we manage to organise ourselves, vaccinate and maintain collective discipline, there is no reason that we cannot continue to progress," Macron said.
But he added: "We need to remain rigorous on the question of variants," the new and sometimes more virulent strains of the original Covid-19 virus.

Thousands of victims of defective breast implants manufactured in France should receive compensation, a Paris appeals court ruled on Thursday after deciding that German firm TUV Rheinland was negligent in awarding safety certificates.

The case was brought by 2,700 women who said they suffered long-term physical and mental health problems after receiving the implants filled with cheap, industrial-grade silicone not cleared for human use.

"We are delighted with this outcome which definitively puts an end to the doubts about TUV's responsibility," said lawyer Olivier Aumaitre who represented the women.
"After 10 years of waiting and fierce combat, the German certifier will have to fully compensate the victims.”

A spokesman for TUV Rheinland declined immediate comment on the judgement, saying the company first wanted to receive a translation and to study it.
The ruling could have implications for tens of thousands more victims from dozens of countries, from Britain to Latin America.

The timing and amount of compensation is still to be determined, according to the PIP Implant World Victims Association (PIPA).
In a statement, PIPA said damages amounting to tens of thousands of euros for each victim were being sought. A first ruling on compensation was expected in September.
