Vaccination against COVID-19 is essential against the pandemic. There are broad discussions on adopting certificates for vaccination and the immunity obtained after infection. Based on a national sample of over 2000 participants administered in April 2021, the current study examines the Chinese public's attitudes to the so-called COVID-19 vaccination passport and factors contributing to their viewpoints. Generally, the Chinese people had favorable opinions on the passport. Among possible contributing factors, income, personal benefit perception, the subjective norm of COVID-19 vaccination, and nationalism were significantly associated with the public's positive attitude. At the same time, general vaccine knowledge and scientific literacy had an inconstant effect. Echoing recent studies, these findings reveal a collectivism-oriented attitude of the Chinese public towards the proposal to certify vaccination publicly. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were discussed.
接种 COVID-19 疫苗对于应对大流行至关重要。关于接种疫苗证书和感染后获得的免疫力，存在广泛的讨论。基于 2021 年 4 月对超过 2000 名参与者进行的全国性抽样调查，本研究调查了中国人对所谓的 COVID-19 疫苗护照的态度以及影响他们观点的因素。一般来说，中国人对护照持赞成态度。在可能的影响因素中，收入、个人利益感知、COVID-19 疫苗接种的主观规范和民族主义与公众的积极态度显著相关。同时，一般疫苗知识和科学素养的影响并不稳定。这些研究结果与最近的研究相呼应，揭示了中国人对公开证明接种疫苗的提议的一种集体主义态度。讨论了结果的理论和实践意义。
