PARIS/LONDON: For Marie-Claire Grime, who works in a pharmacy northeast of Paris, questions about vaccines are a daily challenge. They come mainly from parents who say they're worried about"a lot of chemicals" being put into their children, she says."We spend time deconstructing the myths. We try hard to convince them of the huge advantages vaccination brings," Grime told Reuters at her shop in the town of Bobigny.
The World Health Organization says making vaccines mandatory is one of the best ways to boost immunisation rates. France decided last year to up the number of compulsory vaccines to 11 from three for babies under two years old. "But ... I can’t help thinking that there is a huge pharma lobby operation to convince the public there is a threat that needs to be addressed. And that sounds suspicious."
