Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in the French Caribbean has remained below 25% since introduction in 2007, which is well behind national and international targets. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), we explored parental preferences around HPV vaccination and optimized communication content in a sample of parents of middle-school pupils in Guadeloupe.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in public and private middle age schools in Guadeloupe in June 2023 using an online questionnaire.

Introduction: We aimed to describe the epidemiological situation during the Omicron variant circulation in light of genomic surveillance data in Martinique, a territory with low vaccination rates.

Patients And Methods: We exploited COVID-19 national databases of virological tests, for the collection of hospital data and for the sequencing data from December 13, 2021 to July 11, 2022.

Results: Three prevailing sub-lineages of Omicron have been identified in Martinique (BA.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional dengue control relies on vector control and case reporting, which can be slow and often underestimates the disease burden, especially in smaller regions like Martinique.
  • This study investigates the use of diverse data sources, including hospitalization records and Google Trends, to improve dengue tracking and reduce reporting delays on the island.
  • Findings indicate that real-world data can enhance dengue surveillance, as certain indicators, like hospitalization rates, show strong correlations with dengue outbreaks, allowing for earlier detection of rising case numbers.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) emerged in the Caribbean island of Saint-Martin in December 2013. We implemented a hospital-based surveillance system to detect and describe CHIKV cases including severe forms of the infection and deaths in the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. A case was defined as a patient with a CHIKV laboratory confirmation cared for in a public hospital for chikungunya for at least 24 hours, and a severe CHIKV case was defined as a CHIKV case presenting one or more organ failures.
