A little less than one in ten middle school students received the first of the two necessary injections. Of the 632,000 fifth grade students in public middle schools, only 61,400 have been vaccinated once morest the papillomavirus since the start of the school year, according to information from France Inter. For the moment, these are the first piecemeal reports from regional health agencies. However, one thing is certain: with 10% of students in fifth grade vaccinated, we are far from the objective set by the government, which was 30%. This fall, the government launched a vaccination campaign in 7,000 colleges to protect students once morest the papillomavirus.
The Catholic private sector did not want to participate in the campaign
Blind spot of these figures, they do not include adolescents who were vaccinated by their town doctor. The Ministry of Health even hopes that the vaccination campaign inside colleges will result in an increase in injections in the city. The 180,000 fifth grade students in private colleges might not be affected by this vaccination campaign, and for good reason, Catholic education did not want to participate.
The vaccination campaign started in October
The campaign once morest papillomavirus began in all public middle schools in France last October, with fifth grade students. Human papillomaviruses, sexually transmitted viruses, are responsible for 6,400 new cases of cancer each year. The vaccine protects once morest nine types of human papillomavirus, notably responsible for 90% of cervical cancers, 80% of anal cancers and 90% of anogenital warts.
In France, vaccination once morest HPV has been recommended for girls aged 11 to 14 since 2007, and for boys of the same age since 2021. It requires two doses: a first during the first trimester, the second will take place from April to next June.
