“The study shows how uncertain large proportions of the population are about vaccines, and how much this is tied up with where they get their information, but also their broader underlying beliefs and values."

The share who would definitely get a coronavirus vaccine now stands at just 21% – half the share that said this four months ago.

The U.S. saw 1,282 confirmed cases in 31 states -- the greatest number reported since 1992, with nearly three-fourths linked to recent outbreaks in New York, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most cases were among people who were not vaccinated against measles.
As can be seen above, the amount of people who are willing to receive vaccines or express confidence in them- coronavirus and otherwise- is really low. This is combined with the fact that a lot of people in many countries have lower than ever confidence levels in vaccines- which is not helped by the amount of fake conspiracy theories being spread on the internet. So the question becomes, for the sake of greater good, should vaccinations be mandatory? Those who argue for mandatory vaccination note that vaccines are safe and effective, as well as protecting those who cannot be vaccinated such as the very young, sick, those with reactions, and old. Meanwhile, those against claim it mainly on moral reasons, saying that such a measure is infringing on the rights of the individual of whether or not to undergo medical treatment.
My personal opinion is yes- if the vaccines are produced and rigorously tested, there is no reason not to have all able people receive it, since it will protect not just others but also themselves. I do not think there should be exceptions to the "able people receiving the vaccine being mandatory" rule. But that is my opinion, and you are welcome to debate below.
Also, I tried to make a new title, but I can't think of anything better than 「Yes or No」so I'm sorry >.<
