This Saturday, 560,000 French people have their health pass deactivated.
If some have an appointment for their third dose, others refuse to go through the vaccine box.
Who are these refractory French people?
Marie Jauffret-Roustide, sociologist at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research, delivers her decryption.
More than 53 million French people have received their first dose of vaccine.
This Saturday, 560,000 passes are deactivated due to the absence of the administration of the third dose.
Hundreds of thousands of French people are therefore joining the ranks of the unvaccinated.
But what are the profiles of unvaccinated people?
Marie Jauffret-Roustide is a sociologist at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research.
"There are those who were taken aback, there are also hesitants and people who are irreducible, completely opposed to the issue of vaccination," he explains.
A highly politicized profile
Disadvantaged populations are refractory.
"We have shown that when you live in a disadvantaged area, where there is a lot more unemployment, a lot more bad housing, you are 10 times more likely to not have had not been able to have access to vaccines, therefore not to be vaccinated”, explains Marie Jauffret-Roustide.
"This is what we see that there is also the question of social inequalities in access to vaccines."

Marie Jauffret-Roustide explains that people who refuse to be vaccinated have "a very politicized profile".
"People who either declare no political affiliation, or are on the extreme right or on the extreme left."
For others, it is a "form of protest vis-à-vis the government and also for populations who, for some of them, feel abandoned or despised by government discourse".
