Typhoid case in M'tsapéré: the Regional Health Agency launches a vaccination campaign

The village of M'tsapéré has been plagued by several cases of typhoid fever in recent weeks. To stop the spread of the disease, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Mayotte is launching a vaccination campaign this Monday in schools in M'tsapéré and its surroundings.

Ilona Youssouffa / Ismaël Mohamed Ali • Published on September 2, 2024 at 5:09 p.m.

Priority is given to children aged 5 to 10 years old, in school and living in the village of Mtsapéré and its surroundings. Two vaccines are possible against typhoid fever.

"One that will be delivered most often is an oral vaccine, the vivotif, which is given in three doses. We will visit the establishments three times. The first day for the prescription, the second and third days to monitor the administration of the vaccine and check that the children take their three doses. There may be contraindications, so we have a second vaccine, injectable, typhim."
Tanguy Cholin Head of the Department of Security and Health Emergencies at the ARS of Mayotte

Students will be vaccinated during school hours by a team of doctors and nurses from Santé France's health reserve who have come from mainland France.

"There is a schedule, the objective is to see all the schools in the area. Vaccination is not mandatory, it is offered. Moreover, since we are targeting children. Parental authorization is required and parents have been made aware. We have 21 cases in M'tsapéré, which is important to know, it is not an extraordinary year in terms of figures in Mayotte, 48 cases of typhoid which is an endemic disease in the territory, it is not something exceptional. We have not necessarily found the origin for all the cases of this contamination, we prefer not to take risks and vaccinate the children who are in the CHM cohort, ultimately the patients who are most often hospitalized."
Tanguy Cholin Head of the Department of Security and Health Emergencies at the ARS of Mayotte

Although not mandatory, vaccination is strongly recommended.


"Typhoid fever is a fecal peril disease that is transmitted through water or contaminated food. If there is a hygiene problem and people are going to drink river water and upstream a person has washed their hands in this water there is a risk of transmission, this is an example."
Mathieu Espinoux, public health coordinator at ARS

The vaccination campaign launched by the Mayotte Regional Health Agency will last 4 weeks.
