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.
