This study investigated the attitudes and practices of Brazilian adults regarding the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and their hesitancy towards the vaccination of children.
Between March and May 2022, Brazilian adults answered an online questionnaire distributed through social media. The SAGE-WG questionnaire was adapted to measure hesitancy to the vaccination of children.
Of the 1007 participants, 67.4% believed that adult COVID-19 vaccination should be mandatory. Just over half of the participants (51.5%) believed that parents and/or guardians should decide if their children should be vaccinated against COVID-19 or not and 9.1% were unsure. Individuals who were younger, non-religious and had higher awareness of COVID-19 risks and critics of the federal government's performance in combating the pandemic were more likely to agree with mandatory adult vaccination. However, less agreement among parents and/or guardians concerning children's vaccination was observed, with lower scores for hesitancy to the vaccination of children.
In Brazil, there is still far from a consensus on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for adults and a significant proportion of the population believes that parents and/or guardians should be free to decide on their children's vaccination. These views are associated with age, religion, knowledge of COVID-19 risks and political inclination.
本研究调查了巴西成年人对新冠病毒强制疫苗接种的态度和做法，以及他们对儿童疫苗接种的犹豫态度。
2022年3月至5月期间，巴西成年人回答了通过社交媒体分发的在线问卷。对SAGE-WG问卷进行了改编，以衡量对儿童疫苗接种的犹豫程度。
在1007名参与者中，67.4%的人认为成年人接种新冠疫苗应该是强制性的。略超过一半的参与者（51.5%）认为父母和/或监护人应该决定他们的孩子是否接种新冠疫苗，9.1%的人不确定。年龄较小、无宗教信仰、对新冠风险认识较高以及批评联邦政府抗疫表现的人更有可能赞同成年人强制接种疫苗。然而，父母和/或监护人在儿童疫苗接种问题上的共识较少，对儿童疫苗接种的犹豫得分较低。
在巴西，对于成年人强制接种新冠疫苗仍远未达成共识，相当一部分人口认为父母和/或监护人应自由决定其子女的疫苗接种。这些观点与年龄、宗教、对新冠风险的了解以及政治倾向有关。
