It cannot be said that the vaccination campaign against human papillomaviruses is, for the time being, a great success. According to Inserm figures, only 45.8% of 15-year-old girls and 6% of boys of the same age had, in fact, a dose, at the end of 2021. Yet the vaccine is the only way to protect against this sexually transmitted virus, which can cause cancers of the genital system or the ENT sphere (6,000 new cases per year).
A prevention-health bus
To improve this low vaccination coverage, the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region has decided to act. As part of its health plan adopted in March 2022, it is launching a major prevention campaign. The latter will consist of disseminating messages on the Digital Workspace (ENT) and the Pass’Région, distributing awareness kits to apprenticeship training organisations, raising awareness on social networks. But also to deploy a prevention-health bus. He will meet young people to discuss the risks and raise awareness of the benefits of vaccination.
