Through June 30, 2018, Santé publique France and the Indian Ocean Regional Health Agency are conducting a large-scale vaccination campaign for children under the age of 6 to reduce the risk of an epidemic. Throughout the campaign, families are encouraged to visit the temporary vaccination centers set up for this purpose.
