Key Points

• Vaccination coverage (VC) for the "booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus-polio, pertussis, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)": In 2016, vaccination coverage among children aged 24 months was almost entirely 95% or higher in the Bouches-du-Rhône and Var departments, while it was below 95% in the Hautes-Alpes department.

• "Hepatitis B 3-dose" vaccination coverage: In 2016, vaccination coverage among children aged 24 months was 65% in the Hautes-Alpes, 85% in the Var, and 87% in the Bouches-du-Rhône. These departments are below the national vaccination coverage rate of 90%.

• "Pneumococcal 3-dose" CV: In 2016, the CV among children aged 24 months was 81% in the Hautes-Alpes, 88% in the Var, and 91% in the Bouches-du-Rhône.

• "Measles, mumps, rubella" vaccination coverage: In 2016, "1-dose" vaccination coverage among children aged 24 months ranged from 78% (Var) to 88% (Alpes-Maritimes) in the departments of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The "2-dose" vaccination coverage ranged from 65% (Hautes-Alpes) to 77% (Alpes-Maritimes). These rates are insufficient to prevent any risk of an epidemic.

• Vaccination coverage against meningococcal C: in 2017, regional vaccination coverage reached 71% at age 2, 70% among 2- to 4-year-olds, 62% among 5- to 9-year-olds, 28% among 10- to 14-year-olds, and 18% among 15- to 19-year-olds. These rates are insufficient to ensure the herd immunity necessary to protect the youngest children.

• HPV vaccination coverage: Regardless of birth cohort, vaccination coverage is low and ranges from 10% (Hautes-Alpes) to 18% (Alpes-Maritimes) in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
