The passage from three to eleven compulsory vaccines for children born from January 1, 2018 was a “necessary” measure, considers the Court of Auditors. In his annual public report, the Wise Men do not only distribute good points in terms of vaccine policy. In a chapter devoted to this subject entitled “Vaccination policy: a public health issue, confidence to be reinforced”, the Court of Auditors considers the measures to encourage vaccination still too timid.
Precisely, she considers that vaccine extensionmandatory is a “necessary clarification” but it “must imperatively be part of a broader overall strategy to sustainably consolidate confidence”, in the words of AFP. The institution of rue Cambon lists several recommendations intended to strengthen this dogged confidence.
“Partial and poorly coordinated” measures
The Wise Men advocate the generalization of the electronic vaccination record which would make it possible to have a “computerized tool for monitoring vaccination status”.
The Court of Auditors also pleads for health professionals such as nurses and pharmacists to be able to vaccinate. A flu vaccination campaign is currently being tested in pharmacies in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions.
To fight against increased mistrust of vaccination, the Court of Auditors considers that awareness effortsshould be conducted on social networks. The message is clear: the public authorities still have a lot to do in terms of vaccine policy. “The successive plans aimed at relaunching the vaccine policy have only resulted in partial, poorly coordinated measures insufficient to sufficiently strengthen vaccine adherence,” she said.
