France takes careful vaccine approach to counter skepticism France has taken a low-key approach to its virus vaccine launch because of widespread French skepticism around the vaccinesPARIS -- While governments across Europe kicked off their virus vaccination plans this weekend with fanfare, France took a more low-key approach because of widespread skepticism among it citizens around the vaccines. They remember French health scandals in recent decades, including those involving mismanaged vaccines. Doctors hope that French vaccine hesitancy will fade as more people get vaccinated.
