Impact of an e-Bug Educational Intervention on HPV and Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine Uptake in Middle School Students
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Summary
"This study is a non-interventional observational pilot analysis assessing the possible impact of an educational programme (e-Bug) on parental consent and HPV and meningococcal ACWY vaccination uptake during the 2025-2026 national school-based vaccination campaigns in France. The study focuses on one middle school in the Alpes-Maritimes department and PACA region where teachers and the school nurse had been previously trained on vaccination and used e-Bug educational resources in class as part of routine health education. No research-related intervention was conducted, and the educational programme was not introduced or modified for the purpose of the study. Only aggregated and anonymised vaccination data were used. These data were routinely collected by the Regional Health Agency (ARS PACA) as part of the national vaccination programme and transmitted for analysis. Aggregated data from the pilot school were compared with departmental-level outcomes to describe whether an upstream educational approach may be associated with improved parental acceptance and higher hpv and meningococcal acwy vaccination coverage. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of educational determinants of vaccine uptake in a real-life school setting without involving any participant recruitment or individual data collection."

Interventions
e-Bug School-Based Educational Intervention
The intervention consisted of a school-based educational programme implemented before the national vaccination campaign using MenACWY-specific e-Bug educational resources. Age-appropriate classroom activities addressed meningococcal disease, transmission, disease severity, prevention, and vaccination. The intervention also involved close collaboration between teachers and the school nurse, communication with families, and active follow-up of non-responding parents.
Standard School-Based Vaccination Campaign
Students participated in the national school-based vaccination campaign and received the standard information materials provided as part of the campaign. No MenACWY-specific e-Bug educational intervention was implemented in these schools during the study period.
