The Covid-19 pandemic has claimed many lives around the world. The discovery of different vaccines has sparked hope in the battle against this disease. However, despite the availability of vaccines, the Ivorian populations did not strongly mobilize to be vaccinated. Why such a reaction from them? The objective of this study is to analyze and explain the opinions and attitudes of the Abidjan populations with regard to vaccination against COVID-19. The documentary study associated with a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews constituted the data collection techniques for this study. A mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) was favored for the analysis of these data. The results indicate an influence of social networks and interpersonal communications on the opinions and attitudes of populations in the non-adoption of vaccines against Covid-19.
