The thing promised, the thing due. Following the announcement of universal HPV vaccination by the Head of State at the end of February, the regions are mobilizing to conduct a vaccination campaign against this disease, which causes more than 6,000 new cases of cancer every year. Once parental consent has been obtained, vaccinations can be administered by “mobile teams” of caregivers outside the institution under the auspices of already designated “vaccination centres”.
On the government side, Ministers François Braun (Health) and Pap Ndiaye (Education) have so far contented themselves with a letter addressed to prospective parents of fifth graders, reminding them that “this vaccination will be completely free” and ensuring that “information classes can be organized at the beginning of the school year” .
New Aquitaine, Occitania and the Paris region in a winning position
ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine made public its agenda in early June: “From September” the collection of “permission from both parents” will be done online through a “dematerialized form”. Students will then receive the first dose “between October and December,” then the second “between April and June,” each time at their college and “while studying.” Target: “To vaccinate 70,000 grade 5 students” in New Aquitaine, over and above the 80% target by 2030 set in the government’s cancer plan.
More cautious, his neighbor in Occitania indicated at the end of June that he was aiming to reach “at least 30%” of the relevant age group, i.e. “a potential number of 21,000 college students” vaccinated next year. The first injection is scheduled “from November 6th”, at the beginning of the All Saints holidays. The second, “mid-May”, after the Voznesensky bridge.
In the Paris region, the agenda is more flexible, with ARS Île-de-France calling for “the first dose of the vaccine offered between October and January, the second after six months.” The agency also hopes to “reach one in three” of the 150,000 fifth graders.
