Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has several limitations. First, sample size is limited for the younger age groups, however the observations have been weighted for age, gender, professional categories, and living areas. Then, 2,244 respondents were aged 64 years or less and 812 were aged 65 or more. Older age and antecedents or intention to take up COVID-19 vaccination were great predictors of attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccine mandates. In addition, undecided respondents were not asked about their attitudes to a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for HCWs. As we observed that one third of the opponents to COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the general population were in favor of specific mandates for HCWs, we cannot estimated the true proportion of the population in favor of a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for HCWs and identified factors associated with such an attitude. In conclusion, the opinions toward COVID-19 vaccine mandates are split in France during the vaccination campaign in May 2021. COVID-19 vaccine mandates will be a highly political issue, one year before the next French presidential election. However, if France hits the glass ceiling and fails to achieve herd immunity, a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy should be accompanied by educational efforts targeted at younger adults. If a fourth wave hits France in the Autumn and if a more comprehensive outreach program is not put in place by then, the dilemma might well be: what would be less unacceptable: mandatory vaccination, or new containment m...
