A Look Back at Vaccination Week in Midi-Pyrénées

In Midi-Pyrénées, vaccination coverage remains below the national average, particularly for measles. To increase the impact of initiatives on young people—the target audience of “Vaccination Week 2012”—the Regional Health Agency (ARS) decided to give them a voice. During this week (April 21–27), middle school students produced a radio spot broadcast on Fun Radio and Radio Totem. Students from the Toulouse School of Audiovisual Arts created a video that can be viewed on partner websites as well as on the Vaccination Week Facebook page.

It is also to "speak" to young people that the ARS Midi-Pyrénées designed an original poster distributed by all partners to ensure the lasting impact of these messages.
