Key Points

• Among infants born in 2018 or later who are subject to the expanded vaccination requirement, vaccination coverage rates are high:

  • 93% for the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B at 21 months of age

  • 93% for the pneumococcal vaccine at 21 months

  • 92% for the meningococcal C vaccine at 21 months of age (the 95% target has not yet been reached in the region)

  • 87% with the second dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine at 33 months of age

• Initial estimate of meningococcal B vaccination coverage: 49% of children aged 8 months (2022 cohort) received one dose of the meningococcal B vaccine for this vaccination, which has been recommended since 2022

• Increase in vaccination coverage among children and adolescents not subject to mandatory vaccination:

  • For the meningococcal C vaccine in children over 5 years of age: an increase of 1 to 4 percentage points in vaccination coverage between 2021 and 2022 due to catch-up vaccination by age group

  • For HPV vaccination among 15-year-old girls: a regional vaccination coverage of 54%, which is increasing but remains insufficient to prevent the circulation of human papillomavirus

• Low vaccination coverage against HPV infections among young boys (13% for the first dose at age 15 and 8% for the second dose at age 16) for this vaccine introduced in 2021

• Flu vaccination: insufficient flu vaccination coverage in the region and far from the 75% target among at-risk individuals under 65 years of age (37%) and among those aged 65 and older (59%)

• Increase in vaccination uptake among the general population in the region since 2016, reaching 83.3% in 2021
