Crucial expansion of seasonal flu vaccination campaign

This measure is taken in response to the intensification of the circulation of influenza viruses in all metropolitan regions and Martinique, the latter now in an epidemic phase.

This extension of the campaign aims mainly to increase vaccination coverage of at‑risk groups, identified as follows:

• People aged 65 and over.
• Individuals aged 6 months to 65 years with chronic illnesses.
• Pregnant women.
• People with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m².
• Residents in follow‑up care or medico‑social facilities.

In addition, vaccination is recommended for other groups to provide indirect protection, including healthcare professionals, those around at‑risk infants under 6 months of age, and home helpers for vulnerable people.

To facilitate this process, professionals can download and complete a care voucher via the amelipro space for eligible targets aged 11 and over who have not yet received the vaccine.

Pharmafield emphasizes the importance of seizing every vaccination opportunity to effectively protect the most vulnerable . The contribution of healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacists authorized to prescribe and administer vaccines, is crucial to the success of this campaign.

As a healthcare company, Pharmafield fully supports these efforts and is committed to providing up‑to‑date services and information to effectively support healthcare professionals in this vital public health mission.
