With the rollout of vaccines against COVID-19, an optimistic and a negative attitude among people have arisen. Surprisingly, surveys among people reveal that there is a significant rate of distrust against the vaccines. In a recent short report published in this journal, vaccine hesitancy was found out among medical students. Hence, wide array of research has been springing, recommending various approaches in assisting authorities deal with vaccine hesitancy such as proper and effective strategic communication as a solution. This study suggests however that a more 'localized' public education and role-modelling from public officials and health authorities can help a lot in building public trust. The study aims to contribute to the further development of public health mechanisms in the rolling-out and distribution of vaccines against COVID-19.
随着 COVID-19 疫苗的推出，人们的态度出现了乐观和消极两种。令人惊讶的是，对人们的调查显示，对疫苗的不信任率相当高。在最近发表在本杂志上的一份简短报告中，发现医学生中存在疫苗犹豫的情况。因此，已经涌现出广泛的研究，建议采取各种方法来帮助当局应对疫苗犹豫，例如作为解决方案的适当和有效的战略沟通。然而，这项研究表明，来自政府官员和卫生当局的更“本地化”的公众教育和树立榜样可以在建立公众信任方面大有帮助。该研究旨在为 COVID-19 疫苗的推出和分发中的公共卫生机制的进一步发展做出贡献。
