The infections and deaths resulting from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) triggered the need for some governments to make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory. The present study aims to analyze the position of 3026 adults in Colombia, El Salvador, and Spain regarding the possibility of making COVID-19 vaccine mandatory and the intention to be vaccinated with the booster or possible successive doses. Data from an online survey conducted from August to December 2021 among a non-representative sample of Spanish-speaking countries were collected. Multinomial Logistic Regression Models were used. A total of 77.4% of Colombians were in favor of mandatory vaccination compared to 71.5% of Salvadorians and 65.4% of Spaniards (p < 0.000). Women and people over 65 years of age were the groups most in favor of making the vaccine mandatory (p < 0.000). A total of 79.4% said they had received a third dose or would intend to receive the third dose or future doses, if necessary, compared with 9.4% who expressed doubts and 9.9% who refused to be vaccinated or did not intend to be vaccinated. Among the measures that could be taken to motivate vaccination, 63.0% and 60.6% were in favor of requiring a negative test to enter any place of leisure or work, respectively, compared to 16.2% in favor of suspension from work without pay. The acceptance of mandatory vaccination and of third or future doses varies greatly according to sociodemographic characteristics and work environment. As such, it is recommended that policy makers adapt public health strategies accordingly.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）引发的感染和死亡促使一些政府将COVID-19疫苗强制化。本研究旨在分析哥伦比亚、萨尔瓦多和西班牙3026名成年人对于将COVID-19疫苗强制化的可能性以及接种加强针或后续可能剂量疫苗的意愿。收集了2021年8月至12月在西班牙语国家非代表性样本中进行的在线调查数据。使用了多项逻辑回归模型。共有77.4%的哥伦比亚人赞成强制接种疫苗，相比之下，萨尔瓦多人的这一比例为71.5%，西班牙人为65.4%（p<0.000）。女性和65岁以上人群是最赞成强制接种疫苗的群体（p<0.000）。共有79.4%的人表示他们已经接种了第三剂疫苗，或者如果有必要会打算接种第三剂或未来的剂量，相比之下，9.4%的人表示怀疑，9.9%的人拒绝接种或不打算接种。在可以采取的促进接种的措施中，分别有63.0%和60.6%的人赞成要求进行阴性检测才能进入任何休闲或工作场所，相比之下，16.2%的人赞成无薪停职。根据社会人口特征和工作环境，对强制接种疫苗以及第三剂或未来剂量疫苗的接受程度差异很大。因此，建议政策制定者相应地调整公共卫生策略。
