Changing the Conversation on Adult Influenza Vaccination: France

An annual national awareness campaign led by public health authorities aims to raise awareness of the importance of influenza vaccination and dispel negative misconceptions around vaccines.  The campaign is well planned and organized with clear objectives and guidelines for practice as well as sharable assets.  The campaign messages are disseminated through the media and the internet including TV spots, videos, booklet and brochure, factsheet, poster, press releases, personalized invitation letters, a dedicated campaign website and social media.

In large part, the campaign in France is driving solely by the government.  Although the commitment of health care providers in favor of improving awareness and coverage of influenza vaccination is highly valued, the potential influence of civil society (including patient organization, advocacy group and ageing association) is understated.

The ‘Driving the agenda of pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination in at-risk populations in community and long-term care’ study was conducted to understand the status of existing public health policies and campaigns on pneumococcal disease in community and long-term care settings and its implications on the uptake of pneumococcal vaccination.   The report highlights policy gaps for pneumococcal vaccination across long-term care settings in Canada and accordingly provides recommendations for policy improvements.
