Vaccination against the COVID-19 pandemic remains a major part of global immunization policy. The aim of this study was to explore young people’s willingness to continue to receive vaccination against COVID-19 in a collectivist culture. In this study, an online questionnaire was used to measure willingness to continue vaccination, the tendency towards collectivism, the degree of disease anxiety, vaccine brand loyalty, and perceived infectability in 2022. The results showed that women were more willing to be vaccinated than men (70.1% vs. 29.9%). Young people who were willing to receive continuous vaccination had a relatively higher tendency towards collectivism (p < 0.001), a relatively higher degree of disease anxiety (p < 0.001), and lower vaccine brand loyalty (p = 0.034). The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing and, since young people are the most active in group activities, policy-makers should weigh the factors influencing vaccination among the young to create effective policy measures.
针对新冠疫情的疫苗接种仍然是全球免疫政策的重要组成部分。本研究的目的是探讨在集体主义文化背景下年轻人继续接种新冠疫苗的意愿。在本研究中，2022年通过在线问卷来衡量继续接种疫苗的意愿、集体主义倾向、疾病焦虑程度、疫苗品牌忠诚度以及感知感染性。结果显示，女性比男性更愿意接种疫苗（70.1%对29.9%）。愿意继续接种疫苗的年轻人具有相对较高的集体主义倾向（p<0.001）、相对较高的疾病焦虑程度（p<0.001）以及较低的疫苗品牌忠诚度（p=0.034）。新冠疫情仍在持续，由于年轻人在群体活动中最为活跃，政策制定者应权衡影响年轻人接种疫苗的因素，以制定有效的政策措施。
