Coronavirus: French people for a vaccinal passport, a survey says

What a change of situation. As they used to be timid when it came to get vaccinated, the French have grown convinced over the weeks. A recent IFOP survey* even says most of them are for a vaccinal passport. It is pretty surprising as a few weeks ago, a polemic rose as vaccine could be compulsory for some activities.

This study also says that 54% of the French are willing to get vaccinated. But careful though, this number changes a lot if you closely look at the results depending on target groups. Let us study age ranges, for instance: people aged 65+ are 73% for, as people aged 25 to 34 are 34% for. This preventive treatment against Covid-19 is not unanimous either depending on genders: men are willing to get vaccinated more (63%) than women (46%).

As for the vaccinal passport, even though most of surveyed people are for in order to be able to travel abroad (62%), even among French people resistant to the vaccine (41%), the question is more separating when it comes to other activities. 52% of them wish vaccine to be compulsory to ride public transit. One surveyed in two is also for this principle as it comes to go to junior highs or high schools, as well as movie theaters, theaters and companies. Only 45% of them wish stores are reserved for people vaccinated. Yet, 60% are for mandatory vaccine to be able to visit elderly or vulnerable people in nursing homes or hospitals.
