This paper addresses the issue of public acceptance of vaccination with specific attention being paid to the role of education in vaccine uptake. Using Flash Eurobarometer 287 (2009) survey data and exploring it through the lens of Beck's reflexive modernization and Roger's protection motivation theories we examined how individual-level factors affect intention to get vaccinated, particularly aimed at examining whether higher education predicts more or less vaccination intention in different societies. The empirical results support an idea that at least for seasonal flu educational differences in vaccination uptake are contextual upon the reflexivity of the society in which respondent happens to live. Educated people living in more reflexive modernized countries tend to oppose vaccination against seasonal flu more that those highly educated living in less advanced societies, indicating that skeptical attitude towards science that is intrinsic to the modern post-industrial nations induces the immunization opposition among most informed and distrustful social group.
本文探讨了公众对接种疫苗的接受程度问题，特别关注教育在疫苗接种率方面的作用。本文利用 Flash 欧洲晴雨表 287 号调查数据（2009 年），并通过贝克的反思现代化和罗杰的保护动机理论来探索个人层面因素如何影响接种疫苗的意愿，特别旨在检验在不同社会中，高等教育是否预示着更多或更少的接种意愿。实证结果支持了这样一种观点，即至少在季节性流感疫苗接种方面，教育方面的差异取决于社会的反思程度，而这种社会的反思程度又取决于受访者所处的社会。生活在更具反思性的现代化国家的受过教育的人，往往比生活在欠发达社会的高学历者更反对接种季节性流感疫苗，这表明，现代后工业化国家固有的对科学的怀疑态度，会在最知情和最不信任的社会群体中引起对免疫接种的反对。
