  abstract = {{D}uring the {H}1{N}1 pandemic, governments tailored their communications plans in order to influence risk perception and promote public compliance with the public health plan measures. {C}onsidering the volume and the content of calls to flu information centres as indicators of the public risk perception, this mixed method study compares the relation between public communications, risk perception and immunization behaviour in {Q}uebec and {F}rance. {R}esults suggest that advocating for clear information and coordination between health authorities and the media promotes adherence to preventive behaviour. {H}owever, over-exaggerating the risks and minimizing the population's agency may undermine health authority credibility.},
