The French have more and more confidence in vaccination and that is good, it is open to everyone from today. However, the government fears that the vaccine campaign will be slowed down by vaccine recalcitrant, giving rise to a glass ceiling this summer. Explanations.
Last week, the Academy of Medicine revived the debate with compulsory vaccination through a communicated. A measure she advocates to achieve collective immunity in the country. But the government is against it for the moment and prefers to move up a gear in the vaccination campaign. With an encouraging pace and vaccination that is open to all French people, the government’s objective, that is to say 30 million first-time vaccinated in mid-June will be largely achieved. However, a concern is shaking up the health authorities: will there be enough French people to go to vaccination centers to achieve this famous collective immunity? If this is not the case, epidemiologists are unanimous, a fourth wave will be inevitable at the start of the September.
One in three French people oppose vaccination
The phenomenon will not be new, the Israelis, the English or the Americans are currently encountering it. Asked about this by the media LCI, the epidemiologist Yves Buisson is categorical, we will have to live with it. “We see that we cannot vaccinate everyone because there has been an incompressible fringe of people who refuse vaccination or who hesitate to be vaccinated”, he explains. According to the Cevipof barometer for Le Monde, published on May 21, nearly 65% of French people over the age of 18 intend to take the plunge with anti-covid vaccination or have already done so. A figure which would be up 16 points compared to February. Another study corroborating with this figure, this time commissioned by the Government Information Service (GIS), claims that 81% of the adult population would be ready to immunize.
According to an epidemiologist from Public Health France, published earlier on May 7: 44% of respondents do not want to be vaccinated for the moment. The first reasons concern the safety of serums and the lack of perspective on their subjects. However, the recalcitrant French are ready to change their minds if there were “Information that proves the efficacy and safety of the vaccine” (32%), “a return to a more normal life” (22%) or a need to “protection of his relatives” (16%).
Beer, pizza, baseball game, access to certain places … Countries abroad offer benefits to those vaccinated
In the United States, operations are increasing to convince residents to be vaccinated. In this country, 40% of the population received both injections and 24% of Americans oppose them. To change their minds, the country’s health authorities are counting on many gifts and benefits. From a gift voucher to a donut, or a bonus of 100 dollars, all means are good to convince. On the other hand, countries like Saudi Arabia will not go by four ways. Thus the inhabitants of the kingdom will not be able to participate in pilgrimages and trips abroad if they are not vaccinated. In Israel, some places like sports halls are inaccessible to recalcitrant and health authorities can communicate the contact details of the unvaccinated to municipalities and various ministries, following the passage of a controversial law, explains.
