Exploring the feelings of being at risk of vaccine related adverse effects: A cross-sectional survey in France.

Objectives: The literature on vaccine hesitancy has widely commented on the various factors leading some to feel particularly at risk of disease infection while others do not. But little attention has been paid to whether we also see such differences regarding people's assessment of their personal vulnerability towards vaccine adverse events (AEs).

Methods: We designed two cross-sectional online surveys among representative samples of the French mainland population (n = 2015 and 3087).

Impact of Vaccine Hesitancy on Onset, Severity and Type of Self-reported Adverse Events: A French Cross-Sectional Survey.

Introduction: Little is known about the impact of mandatory vaccination on people who are reluctant to be vaccinated, despite the potential importance in terms of public health policy.

Objective: We aimed to explore the relationship between vaccine hesitancy and onset, severity and characteristics of self-reported adverse events.

Methods: We used a cross-sectional online survey conducted in 2021 among a representative sample of the French population aged 18 years and older (n = 1593).
