思いがけなく、丁寧にコメントを加えていただき、大変嬉しくおもっています。なるほど、西欧での女性の位置はそうなのかと認識をあらためさせられました。
それならばと思い直し、せっかくなので、悪あがきかもしれませんが、改訂を試みました。そうしたくなるのも、あるいは日本人の一面でしょうか。
読み飛ばすだけで、結構です。

Doctor: "Possibly, could there be non-Westerners?"
French: "Here, I brought my Japanese friend, but he says he just came here as an observer."
Doctor: "You may have vaccine inoculation, if you wish."
Japanese: "Thank you for encouraging me to, but I’m afraid I can’t."
Doctor: "Why?"
Japanese: "In Japan, as of today, no one has openly gotten vaccinated."
Doctor: "In France, you are also a regular citizen sharing liberty, equality, and fraternity together with us. It's entirely up to you whether or not to have an inoculation."
Japanese: "I can't easily go ahead of having a vaccine shot as one of the Japanese."
Doctor: "I'm not asking for, but I'm providing you the opportunity. Here in this republic, your choice won't be blamed."
Realizing that he cannot disregard the world standard, the Japanese embarrassingly moved on to get vaccinated.
