The vaccination campaign will go faster than expected : As of Monday, January 4, caregivers over 50 should be able to start getting vaccinated. In his December 31 wishes, Emmanuel Macron promised that he “would not let unjustified slowness set in“in the anti-covid vaccination campaign. But for that, the French still need to be volunteers. And this has not yet been won, according to the passers-by whom we met in the streets of Dijon.
“Nothing prevents this from being a good vaccine, but for the moment, we do not know”
“For me, they should have done a lot more testing before bringing the vaccine to market. For now, we don’t really know if it will work“, confides a young girl. Her friend confirms:”Nothing prevents this from being a good vaccine, maybe it’s very good; but for now, we do not know. We do not know the consequences once we are vaccinated.”
And many of you doubt the validity of the vaccine. “I am not sure of the effectiveness “,” I have some reservations about the effectiveness, I think I’ll wait a bit “, tell us several people from Dijon. “I will wait, yes! A year or two …“, says a gentleman crossed on the forecourt of the station.
He has doubts about the effectiveness, but also afraid of side effects: “Jhope the elderly who get vaccinated do not die! Nobody gives us any certainty, we hear a lot of things about side effects, etc … It panics a little. If we were told more clearly “here it will be like the usual flu vaccine, that’s okay, you can go”, it would be less anxiety-provoking. “
- Should we be afraid of the vaccine? To enlighten you and disentangle the true from the false, Michel Duong, head of the infectious diseases department at Dijon University Hospital, is the guest of France Bleu Bourgogne this Monday from 7:30 am to 7:50 am. To listen live, or listen again here.
