Abstract

Risk communication is a vital part of any risk management strategy but has become even more important in the time of the COVID-19 global health crisis. In recent months, nations across Europe have begun to consider strategies for rolling out vaccines, which is widely seen as the way to overcome high death rates and widespread lockdowns over the course of 2020. In most European nations, vaccinations are not mandatory and thus public willingness to be vaccinated against COVID-19 must be high to achieve lofty goals of reaching herd immunity from the virus. This paper evaluates current communication strategies on vaccine rollouts in several European nations: the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. Following an outline of the history of vaccination issues and unique public vaccine hesitancy profiles in each nation, an overview on current risk communication strategies around the vaccine rollout are offered, focusing on two key areas: (1) communication of the vaccine rollout timeline and ‘expectations management’, and (2) communication of which groups are to be prioritised for any vaccine. From the findings of the paper, it is recommended that nations aiming to promote high vaccine uptake and avoid trust-destroying events: promote informed consent amongst their citizens; are cautious in optimism and manage expectations appropriately; follow scientific advice to vaccine rollout strategies; disseminate and administer the vaccine using local trusted doctors, GPs and nurses; are open and honest about when people will get a vaccine and uncertainties associated with them.

欧洲的COVID-19疫苗推出风险传播策略:快速反应

摘要

风险沟通是任何风险管理策略的重要组成部分,但在COVID-19全球健康危机期间变得尤为重要。近几个月来,欧洲各国开始考虑推出疫苗策略,这被广泛认为是在2020年期间克服高死亡率和广泛封锁的一种方式。在大多数欧洲国家,疫苗接种不是强制性的,因此是公开的要实现从牛群获得免疫力的崇高目标,必须很高的接种COVID-19疫苗的意愿。本文评估了英国,法国,德国,瑞典和瑞士等多个欧洲国家当前在疫苗推广方面的交流策略。概述了每个国家的疫苗接种问题历史和独特的公共疫苗犹豫状况后,提供了有关疫苗推广的当前风险交流策略的概述,重点放在两个关键领域:(1)疫苗推广时间表和“期望管理”的交流;(2)交流哪些人群应优先使用任何疫苗。从本文的调查结果中,建议那些旨在促进高疫苗接种率和避免破坏信任的国家:在其公民中促进知情同意;保持谨慎的乐观态度,并适当地管理期望;遵循科学建议制定疫苗推广策略;使用当地值得信赖的医生,全科医生和护士来传播和管理疫苗;对人们何时获得疫苗以及与之相关的不确定性持开放和诚实的态度。(1)传达疫苗推出时间表和“期望管理”,以及(2)传达应优先考虑哪些组的任何疫苗。从本文的调查结果中,建议那些旨在促进高疫苗接种率和避免破坏信任的国家:在其公民中促进知情同意;保持谨慎的乐观态度,并适当地管理期望;遵循科学建议制定疫苗推广策略;使用当地值得信赖的医生,全科医生和护士来传播和管理疫苗;对人们何时获得疫苗以及与之相关的不确定性持开放和诚实的态度。(1)传达疫苗推出时间表和“期望管理”,以及(2)传达应优先考虑哪些组的任何疫苗。从本文的调查结果中,建议那些旨在促进高疫苗接种率和避免破坏信任的国家:在其公民中促进知情同意;保持谨慎的乐观态度,并适当地管理期望;遵循科学建议制定疫苗推广策略;使用当地值得信赖的医生,全科医生和护士来传播和管理疫苗;对人们何时获得疫苗以及与之相关的不确定性持开放和诚实的态度。建议那些旨在促进高疫苗接种率并避免破坏信任的国家:在其公民之间促进知情同意;保持谨慎的乐观态度,并适当地管理期望;遵循科学建议制定疫苗推广策略;使用当地值得信赖的医生,全科医生和护士来传播和管理疫苗;对人们何时获得疫苗以及与之相关的不确定性持开放和诚实的态度。建议那些旨在促进高疫苗接种率并避免破坏信任的国家:在其公民之间促进知情同意;保持谨慎的乐观态度,并适当地管理期望;遵循科学建议制定疫苗推广策略;使用当地值得信赖的医生,全科医生和护士来传播和管理疫苗;对人们何时获得疫苗以及与之相关的不确定性持开放和诚实的态度。
