However, no legislative framework has been provided to ensure their right to family, leaving those who wish to become parents in a space of social, political, and legal uncertainty that is inconsistent with international and human rights. In parallel, France has developed an arsenal of health strategies that constrain actors working in the field.\u0000\u0000\u0000PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH\u0000This study examines the possibilities available to public health actors for promoting reproductive health in the absence of legislation and in the context of political and legislative adversity. To this end, it relies on a participatory, critical, and lexicometric analysis of national strategies for sexual and reproductive health and parenthood support.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Governance strategies make no mention of parentality among transgender people. Sexual and reproductive health policies focus on tackling sexually transmitted infections, on health pathways, and on violence and discrimination. The analysis also highlights a lack of awareness on this topic.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Shortcomings in the legislative framework and public health strategies raise ethical questions about the promotion of reproductive health and the potentially non-inclusive approach of actors in the field. These issues force communities to carry out actions outside the scope of ordinary regulations, and they highlight the political positioning of the public-health field in France.","PeriodicalId":49575,"journal":{"name":"Sante Publique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on the legal framework, all available documents and figures, and on an analytical reading supported by existing literature. It reveals that due to the inadequacy or even the absence of an appropriate legal basis, each managing body has its own registration system. The lack of a unified system has given rise to a number of constraints. These concern, among other things: (i) mobility between or within schemes, which does not operate smoothly because it leads to re-registration (ii) inadequate monitoring of double benefit claims, which is the case for more than one scheme, due to insufficient and hesitant anti-fraud action (iii) the sharing and use of reliable data, which hinders decision making, evaluation, and monitoring.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000It is essential to adopt legal texts that will provide the basis for a unified system with regulations enabling the participation of all stakeholders, with the aim of steering the roll-out of CHI effectively and efficiently.","PeriodicalId":49575,"journal":{"name":"Sante Publique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140738542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have assessed the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in Africa. In Burkina Faso, this issue has not yet been addressed. The objective of this study was to contribute to the description of the characteristics of adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) related to COVID-19 vaccines in Burkina Faso. This was a cross-sectional descriptive retrospective study of spontaneous reports of COVID-19 vaccine-related AEFIs recorded in VigiBase® between June 2021 and November 2022 in Burkina Faso. Individual case safety reports (ICSRs) were extracted from VigiBase® using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical level 2 (ATC2) code. The proportion of ICSRs according to the reporter’s qualification, the reporting rate, the time taken to submit and record ICSRs, and the completeness score were calculated. A total of 973 ICSRs concerned COVID-19 vaccines and represented 32.6% of all 2,988 reports in VigiBase®. Overall, 82.0% of the reporters were nurses/midwives, 7.8% were physicians, 6.7% were pharmacists, and 3.4% were patients. The median time between the onset of AEFIs and the submission of the report to the Pharmacovigilance Center was 180 days (IQR: 136; 281). The median registration time was 188 days (IQR: 149; 286). The mean ICSR completeness score was 0.8 (standard deviation = 0.1). The overall AEFI reporting rate was 27.8 per 100,000 vaccine doses. The AEFI reporting rates for the ChAdOx1-nCoV-19, JNJ 78436735, Elasomeran, Tozinameran, and HB02 vaccines were 454.2, 17.4, 11.0, 10.2, and 0.4 per 100,000 vaccine doses, respectively. The majority of AEFIs were systemic in nature (90.1%). Headache (21.2%), fever (19.4%), and myalgia (11.0%) were the most frequently reported AEFIs. Eighteen cases (1.8%) of serious AEFIs (9 hospitalizations, 4 life threatening, 3 temporary disabilities, and 2 others unspecified) were reported. The majority of AEFIs reported were systemic in nature and mild. However, there have been reports of serious AEFIs. The overall AEFI reporting rate was low.
