Despite a decline in the global threat linked to Covid-19, the virus continues to circulate, particularly with the JN.1 variant, presenting risks for susceptible populations. Indeed, the results of the 2023-2024 seasonal campaign show 259 hospitalizations linked to influenza, with 11 deaths in Polynesia, while Covid-19 caused 75 hospitalizations and 3 deaths.
This joint vaccination initiative therefore offers the possibility of simultaneous administration of the two vaccines. There is no specific delay between the two, in order to simplify and strengthen the protection of people at risk. These vaccinations are free for target audiences in all Health Department healthcare structures as well as in approved pharmacies in Tahiti and the Leeward Islands. Vaccines are also available over the counter for anyone wishing to protect themselves.
