Abstract
Study conducted on Internet among a representative sample of mothers reporting their child's vaccination record. The removal of the dose of DTPa-Hib at the age of 3months was quickly adopted since only 1% of children aged 6months had received three doses of DTPa in 2014compared to 96% in 2012. The booster dose is administered earlier for the DTPa and hepatitis B components. The shift of MMR vaccination from 9months of age for children participating in community structures to 12months for all children was closely followed since only 2% of 9- to 11-month-old children received a MMR vaccine in 2014compared to 33% in 2012. The second dose of MMR recommended at 16-18months of age rather than between 13and 24months was actually followed by an earlier administration of this dose. At 18-20months of age, 60% received two doses of MMR in 2014versus 41% in 2012. Finally, for meningitis C vaccination, a significant increase of VC was observed in children 15-23months of age (66% in 2014versus 44% in 2012). The simplification of the infant immunization schedule was quickly applied and received excellent support from healthcare professionals. However, this measure alone is still not sufficient to meet the CV objectives defined by the HCSP.
