Résumé
Infant vaccines protecting against 11 diseases have changed from recommended to mandatory status in France for all children born from first of January 2018. Through Vaccinoscopie survey, we measured for the second consecutive year the impact of this new policy on vaccine coverage rates (VCRs) and mothers' perception regarding vaccination. Web-based survey on a representative sample of 1500 mothers of 0 to 17-month-old infants. Non-optimal VCRs continued to increase in 2019 versus 2017 (according to age, +7 to 8 points VCR for Hepatitis B and +36 to 68 points for Meningococcus C). After a progressive decrease between 2012 and 2017, the rate of favorable mothers' opinion towards vaccination continued to progress in 2018 and 2019. These results confirmed the positive impact of this new law on infant VCRs and mothers' favorable opinion regarding vaccination.
