Recent reports show that there is resistance in certain countries in regard with receiving COVID-19 vaccination. Different factors contribute to this resistance. With this, if we are to promote COVID-19 vaccination, government officials must build public trust so that the hesitancy among the citizens will be lessened. Thus, this paper proposes that in building public trust, the true essence of common good and public service must be seen from the officials so that their constituents will trust them with their decisions.
最近的报告显示,某些国家对接种 COVID-19 疫苗存在抵触情绪。造成这种抵触情绪的原因有很多。因此,如果我们要推广 COVID-19 疫苗接种,政府官员必须建立公众信任,这样才能减少公民的犹豫。因此,本文提出,在建立公众信任时,官员们必须从公共利益和公共服务的本质出发,让选民信任他们的决策。
