Vaccination hesitancy: Understand to act better

Google translate: Vaccination is a very effective public health measure to prevent disease. However, more and more people have major fears and doubts about vaccines. It is estimated that one person in three would hesitate to be vaccinated or to have their child vaccinated. This phenomenon is called "vaccination hesitancy". Hesitant people may refuse certain vaccines or delay vaccination, and these behaviors have been linked to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles. This is of particular concern in the context of vaccination against COVID-19, as vaccine hesitancy could negatively affect the success of the vaccination campaign. This program therefore aims to better understand why people are reluctant to get vaccinated or to have their child(ren) vaccinated, as well as to examine why some health professionals are reluctant to vaccinate. In addition, work will be carried out to develop and evaluate solutions to reduce fears and doubts about vaccination and promote informed vaccination decisions. Various qualitative (interviews, ethnographic research) and quantitative (surveys) research projects will be carried out to do this.]
