Three new vaccines will be added to the list of compulsory vaccines for children in Polynesia.

So far, eight vaccines are mandatory: tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, measles, rubella, hepatitis B and A, and tuberculosis. The country has added to this list pertussis, mumps and pneumococcal disease, already included in existing vaccines and practiced in Polynesia. The last update of the list of vaccines was made in 2014. It is now a question of reaching a vaccination coverage, that is to say the number of people vaccinated, of 95%. In 2012, it was 97%. The country wishes "To perpetuate the benefits and to guarantee the non-introduction of diseases".
