The current study compared the prevalence of vaccination reluctance in general and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and social and health factors associated with intentions to receive the vaccine. A random socio-epidemiological population-based survey was conducted in France in November 2020, in which 85,855 adults participants were included in this study. We used logistic regressions to study being \"not at all in favor\" to vaccination in general, and being \"certainly not\" willing to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Our analysis highlighted a gendered reluctance toward vaccination in general but even more so regarding vaccination against COVID-19 (OR = 1.88 (95% CI: 1.79\u20131.97)). We also found that people at the bottom of the social hierarchy, in terms of level of education, financial resources, were more likely to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine (from OR = 1.22 (95% CI:1.10\u20131.35) for respondents without diploma to OR = 0.52 (95% CI:0.47\u20130.57) for High school +5 or more years level). People from the French overseas departments, immigrants and descendants of immigrants, were all more reluctant to the Covid-19 vaccine (first-generation Africa\/Asia immigrants OR = 1.16 (95% CI:1.04\u20131.30))\n                    <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>\n                    OR = 2.19 (95% CI:1.96\u20132.43) for the majority population). Finally, our analysis showed that those who reported not trusting the government were more likely to be Covid-19 vaccine-reluctant (OR = 3.29 (95% CI: 3.13\u20133.45)). Specific campaigns should be thought beforehand to reach women and people at the bottom of the social hierarchy to avoid furthering social inequalities in terms of morbidity and mortality.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0262192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]],"date-time":"2022-01-06T13:26:40Z","timestamp":1641475600000},"page":"e0262192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["The social specificities of hostility toward vaccination against Covid-19 in France"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8073-9056","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nathalie","family":"Bajos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2589-9804","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alexis","family":"Spire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3482-1128","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"L\u00e9na","family":"Silberzan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"for the EPICOV study group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0262192.ref001","volume-title":"State of vaccine confidence in the EU 2018.","author":"H Larson","year":"2018"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1023","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)00306-8","article-title":"Challenges in ensuring global access to COVID-19 vaccines: production, affordability, allocation, and deployment","volume":"397","author":"OJ Wouters","year":"2021","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1257","DOI":"10.1038\/s41590-019-0488-9","article-title":"Vaccine hesitancy and coercion: all eyes on France","volume":"20","author":"JK Ward","year":"2019","journal-title":"Nat Immunol"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref004","article-title":"Influences on Attitudes Regarding Potential COVID-19 Vaccination in the United States.","volume":"8","author":"K Pogue","year":"2020","journal-title":"Vaccines (Basel)"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113414","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2020.113414","article-title":"The French public\u2019s attitudes to a future COVID-19 vaccine: The politicization of a public health issue","volume":"265","author":"JK Ward","year":"2020","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref006","article-title":"Sharp rise in vaccine hesitancy in a large and representative sample of the French population: reasons for vaccine hesitancy.","author":"A-S Hacquin","year":"2020","journal-title":"PsyArXiv"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref007","article-title":"Vaccine hesitancy: clarifying a theoretical framework for an ambiguous notion.","volume":"7","author":"P Peretti-Watel","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS Curr"},{"key":"pone.0262192.ref008","unstructured":"Lunz Trujillo K, Motta M.
