澳大利亚政府最近推出了一些世界上最严格的疫苗接种规定。鉴于国际研究警告说，公众反对接种疫苗的任务可能会破坏公众对疫苗接种价值的共识，我们对1000多名澳大利亚人对疫苗接种和任务的态度进行了一项原始研究。我们发现，与美国和英国的类似研究相反，对疫苗接种和授权的支持率非常高，没有任何政治小组的重大反对。除了对疫苗接种本身的态度外，似乎没有单独的态度维度会在澳大利亚产生对疫苗接种任务的政治反对。这表明了国家政治背景在疫苗接种政策辩论中的重要性。
The Australian government has recently introduced some of the strictest vaccination mandates in the world. In light of international studies warning that public opposition to vaccination mandates could undermine public consensus about the value of vaccination, we conduct an original study of more than 1000 Australians on attitudes towards both vaccination and mandates. We find that, in contrast to similar studies in the United States and the United Kingdom, support for both vaccination and mandates is very high, with no significant opposition from any political subgroup. Apart from attitudes towards vaccination itself, there appears to be no separate attitudinal dimension that generates political opposition to vaccination mandates in Australia. This shows the importance of national political context in debates about vaccination policy.
