Postponing the seasonal flu vaccination campaign in Réunion in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic in France, the French Haute Autorité de la Santé considers that the launch of the vaccination campaign against influenza in Réunion is not a priority in April 2020 when réunionese are called to strict confinement and that it could be postponed until the end of May 2020 without affecting the effectiveness of the campaign and the prevention of influenza in Réunion.
This advice is likely to be updated depending on the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic situation in Réunion and the measures that will be taken by the government, in particular the possible maintenance of containment beyond the month of April or the terms for the gradual lifting of the current containment which remain undefined to date.
