Vaccination obligation update:Vaccination obligation for health professionals remains maintained. This obligation must sustainably protect the most vulnerable people cared for in our health and medico-social institutions. Since January 30, 2022, the booster dose has been integrated into the vaccination obligation that applies to personnel working in the health and medical sector – social. Therefore, a valid standard schedule includes 2 injections 3 to 7 weeks apart followed by 1 booster dose within 4 months of the second injection to note that the second booster which is extended to willing health professionals, does not returns to the subject of compulsory vaccination. Vaccination General population: 385,349 injections on 16/08/202222 delayed vaccination coverage of people over 12 years old in Guadeloupe:- First dose: 45.97%- Second dose: 43.84%- 3rd dose : 26, 4 91 years to age 47 8% Received the 1st injection and 8,071 have received the 2nd injection so far in Guadeloupe. 295 first vaccination doses and 226 second doses were recorded in Guadeloupe in children aged 5 to 11 years, 331 first doses of Novavax and 185 second doses. Data provided by HAS and the Vaccination Strategy Steering Council show that immunity conferred by vaccination against COVID-19 wanes after several months, including after the first withdrawal, and this decline is fastest after 60 years.
