A long tradition of research has shown an association between political orientation and vaccine uptake. However, we know little about political preferences and the choice of specific vaccines.
We conducted two national surveys, in Hungary (Study 1, online, = 1130) and Thailand (Study 2, on the street survey: = 1052), testing associations between political allegiance, trust in government, vaccine willingness, and vaccine choice.
In Hungary, those supporting the government or on the political right were more willing to be vaccinated, with this association strongest for government approved vaccines. These respondents were also more likely to accept Chinese and Russian vaccines and reject the Moderna vaccine. In Thailand, vaccinated respondents reported greater trust in the government, with preference for AstraZeneca associated with support for pro-government political parties and preference for Pfizer with anti-government attitudes.
Vaccine campaigns need to recognise the role of political loyalties not only in vaccine willingness, but in vaccine choice, especially given the mixing of vaccines across doses.
长期以来的研究表明政治倾向与疫苗接种率之间存在关联。然而，我们对政治偏好与特定疫苗的选择了解甚少。
我们在匈牙利（研究1，在线调查，n = 1130）和泰国（研究2，街头调查，n = 1052）进行了两项全国性调查，测试政治忠诚、对政府的信任、疫苗接种意愿和疫苗选择之间的关联。
在匈牙利，支持政府或政治右派的人更愿意接种疫苗，这种关联在政府批准的疫苗中最为明显。这些受访者也更有可能接受中国和俄罗斯的疫苗，而拒绝莫德纳疫苗。在泰国，接种疫苗的受访者表示对政府的信任度更高，对阿斯利康疫苗的偏好与支持亲政府政党有关，而对辉瑞疫苗的偏好与反政府态度有关。
疫苗接种运动需要认识到政治忠诚不仅在疫苗接种意愿中，而且在疫苗选择中所起的作用，特别是考虑到不同剂量疫苗的混合使用情况。
