Question 41422 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Mrs. Lamia El Aaraje draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the stock of vaccines against tuberculosis (BCG). Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease worldwide, with more than 10 million cases, resulting in 1.4 million deaths each year. Compulsory vaccination against tuberculosis, introduced almost a century ago, made it possible to eradicate this disease in France. Public health France now reports a national incidence of less than 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year for more than 10 years, but which masks significant territorial disparities. Successful vaccination coverage would make it possible to resolve this problem through massive vaccination of young children. However, the BCG vaccine, produced by Sanofi, has been out of stock since March 2019. The BCG vaccine produced by CSP presents a problem of significant destruction of doses since a bottle offers 10. She wants to know her intentions to remedy these stock shortages and allow young children to be vaccinated massively.
