As an infectious disease specialist, I divide my time between care, research, teaching and prevention. I work in an INSERM clinical investigation center, on vaccine clinical trials. The development of new vaccines and the improvement of existing vaccines would be in vain if there was not sufficient confidence in vaccines. As a day-to-day clinician and researcher, I wanted to get involved in research into vaccine trust in France. I have mainly worked on the acceptability of seasonal flu vaccination among healthcare professionals, HPV vaccination among adolescents, COVID-19 vaccination in the general population and among healthcare professionals, and monkeypox vaccination. I contributed to the PrevHPV project, a multi-component intervention for HPV acceptance in adolescents notably by coordination a work package about Education, Mobilization and Motivation for HPV vaccination in middle schools , and I am in charge of a multi-component intervention project on the acceptability of pertussis vaccination during pregnancy.
