Attitudes of French adults toward COVID-19 vaccination.

ABSTRACT

Reticence toward COVID-19 vaccination is more prevalent among women, people with low income, people who feel close to parties on the Far Right and Far Left and people who feel close to no party at all. It illustrates a mistrust of state institutions and policy-makers in general. The arguments in favor of Covid vaccine refusal are safety concern, and the contention that COVID is a mild disease. That said, vaccine hesitancy is vaccine-specific, with a major difference between Pfizer/Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines. Aside from vaccine hesitancy, vaccination intention rate has approached 80%.
