- Abstract
- Despite unprecedented communication campaigns, many governments faced some degree of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. In Belgium, French-speaking regions (Brussels and Wallonia) are of particular interest, as their vaccination rates are lower than that in Flanders. In October 2021, the government enacted a Covid Safe Ticket (CST) pass, which conditioned access to several public and private facilities on proof of complete vaccination, recovery, or a negative polymerase chain reaction test. COVID-19 passes have been implemented to fight the epidemic and were moderately effective in incentivizing vaccination, notably in France. In this study, we examine the reasons people who were initially resistant to the vaccine ended up getting vaccinated.
