The French government expects to begin mass vaccination of the elderly in nursing homes and then of vulnerable populations in January with the NeoCrown vaccine. Time is running out, and convincing the public to accept the vaccine is a headache for the French government.
In the face of some people’s reluctance to take the vaccine, Health Minister Weyland said, “Before we can gain immunity against the new coronavirus, we must first gain immunity against fear.
The French neo-crown vaccine will be administered in stages, starting at the beginning of January with the elderly in nursing homes, and then gradually extending to the entire population. Enough vaccine has already been ordered in France, and the French government’s principle is that vaccination is free and voluntary.
However, as the date of vaccination approaches, many people in France seem to be increasingly reluctant to receive vaccinations. According to the latest polls, only fifty-three percent of the population is willing, compared to sixty-four percent in July.
Why are fewer people willing to be vaccinated? The first reason cited was doubts about the safety of new vaccines, and another was a general opposition to vaccination, including all vaccines. This reason is common in France, where the general public seems to have an instinctive distrust of vaccination.
Minister of Health Véran has pledged that the government will do everything possible to provide the public with all the knowledge about vaccines and to be as transparent as possible. The French government has also appointed an epidemiological scientist, Mr. Fischer, as “Mr. Vaccine,” who, along with his team, is tasked with helping to clear up any doubts.
Experimental data from Pfizer, Biologics and Modena have been published, and the safety and efficacy of the vaccine are convincing, but more specific data have not yet been released to the public, although they have been sent to various drug control and public health authorities.
Some French experts believe that the more specific the data, the better. The biggest reason why many people are reluctant to be vaccinated is the lack of information about the vaccine, and therefore, a major effort must be made to disseminate relevant information and communicate with the public.
French President Emmanuel Macron said that the government should be honest with the people and tell them what they know and what they don’t know, which is why we appointed a scientist to communicate with them.
