“…When addressing the reasons for not vaccinating, approximately one-third responded that they did not want to be vaccinated, mainly because they were not receptive to HBV vaccination or not perceived to be at risk. Vaccine hesitancy has already been illustrated in a study from a French STD clinic, where most non-immunized persons did not trust the safety of HBV vaccines or viewed it as “not well characterized”[ 21 ]. We also observed that individuals covered under the French national healthcare plan or those coming from a low HBV-endemic country were more likely not to vaccinate.…”

AIMTo determine whether hepatitis B virus (HBV)-testing could serve as a gateway to vaccinate non-immunized individuals in a low-prevalent country.METHODSNon-immunized subjects participating in a multi-center, HBV-testing campaign in Paris, France were identified and contacted via telephone 3-9 mo after testing in order to determine vaccination status. Vaccination coverage was evaluated in per-protocol (for all respondents) and intent-to-treat analysis (assuming all non-responders did not vaccinate).RESULTSIn total, 1215/4924 (24.7%) enrolled subjects with complete HBV serology were identified as non-immunized and eligible for analysis. There were 99/902 successfully contacted subjects who had initiated HBV vaccination after screening: per-protocol, 11.0% (95%CI: 9.0-13.2); intent-to-treat, 8.2% (95%CI: 6.7-9.8). In multivariable analysis, vaccination was more likely to be initiated in individuals originating from moderate or high HBV-endemic countries (P < 0.001), patients with limited healthcare coverage (P = 0.01) and men who have sex with men (P = 0.02). When asked about the reasons for not initiating HBV vaccination, the most frequent response was “will be vaccinated later” (33.4%), followed by “did not want to vaccinate” (29.8%), and “vaccination was not proposed by the physician” (21.5%). Sub-group analysis indicated a stark contrast in vaccination coverage across centers, ranging from 0%-56%.CONCLUSIONHBV-vaccination after HBV screening was very low in this study, which appeared largely attributed to physician-patient motivation towards vaccination. Increased vaccination coverage might be achieved by emphasizing its need at the organizational level.

“…16 Online tools allow vaccine-related rumors to spread rapidly all over the world, 17 but the information is sometimes published without scientific validation. 18 Moreover, before vaccination, people often search for information on the internet, 19 and sometimes seek for information in accordance with their beliefs. 20 Yet, positive messages regarding vaccination are not often shared in the media, but people can be more tempted to share doubts if they have experienced adverse effects that they attributed to vaccines.…”

Vaccination has been identified many decades ago as an effective means to prevent several diseases. However, in France, there is an emergence of vaccine hesitancy, that has caused a reduction of vaccination coverage rates. This issue reduces the effectiveness of the immunization process, and represents a real threat to public health that should be urgently addressed. The purpose of this review is to present actions that have been taken to fight against vaccine hesitancy and thus enhance vaccine uptake. The results indicate that different strategies have been proposed to reach this goal, mainly by vaccination campaigns. These findings highlight the strong implication of national health authorities and the medical staff of hospitals and health-care centers. However, actions implemented should be part of a long-term approach, and further studies are required to identify the most effective strategies to address vaccine hesitancy.

“…Vaccination has always been associated with many controversies. In 1994, the extensive hepatitis B vaccination campaign raised suspicions of links with neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (1). More recently, the H1N1 vaccination campaign and the management of vaccine stocks have been strongly criticised (2).…”

Negative perceptions of hepatitis B vaccination among attendees of an urban free testing center for sexually transmitted infections in France

Abstract: Negative perceptions of the hepatitis B vaccine are widespread in this at-risk population. Consequently, a successful communication strategy must reassure this at-risk population of the vaccine's innocuous nature.
