Chikungunya Vaccination Drive: French Guiana health authorities have launched a chikungunya vaccination campaign as cases surge, ordering 2,500 doses to protect people most at risk of severe illness. The focus is on adults over 65 and those with underlying conditions, with Vimkunya and Ixchiq vaccines provided free with a doctor’s prescription. Mosquito Control Push: Alongside shots, ARS is intensifying efforts to destroy breeding sites, reduce stagnant water, and run awareness actions—especially in western French Guiana, where most cases are concentrated. Long-Lasting Symptoms Reminder: Officials note chikungunya is rarely fatal but can trigger serious complications, including joint pain that may linger for months after infection. Ocean Wellness & Sustainability: Separately, Novotel released its second Ocean Impact Report ahead of World Ocean Day (8 June), highlighting progress with WWF France on marine conservation, more sustainable food choices, and ocean awareness—linking ocean health to human wellbeing.
