La vaccination est l’une des interventions les plus efficaces en santé publique après l’accès à l’eau potable. Bien plus qu’une technologie biomédicale, elle est profondément ancrée dans des contextes historiques, sociaux et politiques. Si l’histoire de la vaccination remonte à la variolisation en Asie et en Afrique, l’anthropologie s’y est intéressée plus récemment, notamment avec le Programme élargi de vaccination de l’OMS. Les anthropologues analysent les résistances vaccinales non comme un simple refus irrationnel, mais comme des réactions enracinées dans des expériences de marginalisation, des mémoires coloniales ou des tensions sociopolitiques. Ils examinent aussi l’influence des rumeurs, des espaces numériques, des relations soignants-soignés et des inégalités d’accès. Cette approche critique et contextuelle relie le micro social au macro social.
