In 2020, the majority of the French population, aged 18 to 75 years old, were generally favorable to vaccines. During that year, over 34 percent of the French population was very favorable to vaccines. On the other hand, over 18 percent of French people were not in favor of vaccines. Over the last two decades, skepticism towards vaccines fluctuated in the country, reaching as low as 8.5 percent in 2000 to 38 percent in 2010. The public opinion towards vaccines was especially low in 2010, which could be linked to France's management of the H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu pandemic).
