Australians support mandatory COVID vaccine
10 May 2021 | 3 mins
A study by The University of Western Australia and Sydney University has found three-quarters of Australians support a mandatory COVID vaccination for work, study, and travel.
Mandatory vaccination is where vaccination is required if people choose to partake in particular activities or access specific entitlements, as opposed to compulsory vaccination which would require everyone to be vaccinated.
The study, published in Politics, coincides with the recent announcement of an Australia and New Zealand travel bubble, with governments negotiating what measures may be needed to keep people safe.
The researchers surveyed 1200 people last year and results indicate more Australians are advocates for mandatory vaccination (73 per cent) compared to how many would feel comfortable getting the vaccine themselves (66 per cent).

Unlike any other journalist, I have been covering the tragic loss of MH370 from the moment she was reported lost.
I was in New York filming a documentary on the history of Boeing and my phone came alive with countless messages with just four words repeated; interview, MH370, 777, and Malaysia.
So began a seven-year journey of hope and despair as the incredible search waxed and waned.
Taking that journey to the depths of despair has been the flood of utterly bizarre conspiracy theories and the endless publishing of books – 130 – on the disappearance.
It would have been easy for this website to publish all this rubbish and build more traffic to the site – as many newspapers and websites have done – but our reputation would have been worthless.
