Question 13984 — health

Summary

Mr. Marc de Fleurian draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities to the cost of the vaccine against leptospirosis, a disease transmissible from animals to humans in particular by rodents and aquatic environments contaminated by them and which can lead to severe or even fatal complications. According to the National Reference Center (CNR) and Public Health France, around 600 cases are diagnosed each year in mainland France. Teams of trappers who fight against invasive species and more particularly against the muskrat in order to protect natural and agricultural environments are particularly exposed to the risk of leptospirosis. Despite the crucial role of volunteer trappers from the Pest Defense Groups (GDON) in preserving biodiversity and limiting the damage caused by the muskrat, the GDONs are not always able to give them access to the vaccine due to its high cost. This situation creates a real health risk and weakens the prevention of leptospirosis. This is why he hopes that the Minister will undertake to negotiate with the manufacturers the price of the leptospirosis vaccine or to authorize its reimbursement by social security, in order to strengthen the health protection of populations at risk, in particular volunteers working in the general interest and to support organizations engaged in the preservation of biodiversity. He wants to know his position on this subject.
