Geography of the vaccine divide: why distrust thrives in the south

DECRYPTION - In a study for the Jean Jaurès Foundation that we publish exclusively, the political scientist Jérôme Fourquet analyzes, using data from geographer Emmanuel Vigneron, the pockets of vaccine resistance.


Jérôme Fourquet is director of the opinion & corporate strategies department at Ifop.

Sylvain Manternach is a geologist and cartographer.

On the basis of data from the Health Insurance, the geographer of health from the University of Montpellier, Emmanuel Vigneron, drew up on a very fine scale an unprecedented map of vaccination coverage. The researcher calculated for each territory a “comparative vaccination index” which statistically neutralizes the effect of the age of the local populations to bring out other parameters influencing the vaccination rate. In Ile-de-France or in the Lyon metropolitan area, for example, the map shows sociological divisions with a much lower vaccination rate in the working-class suburbs than in the bourgeois districts.

The geography drawn up by Emmanuel Vigneron also shows differences between rural areas and the heart of urban areas, due to a more or less close proximity to the centers.
