强制免费接种新冠疫苗？澳总理莫里森改口

Vaccinations are not mandatory in Australia. Behavioural scientist Julie Leask told the Sydney Morning Herald it was "premature and unhelpful" to talk about mandating a vaccine for Covid-19 "when we don't even have a vaccine that we know actually works", and she warned of a possible 'backlash'.

在澳大利亚，疫苗接种不是强制性的。行为科学家朱莉·莱斯克告诉《悉尼先驱晨报》：“在我们甚至还没有一种已知真正有效疫苗”的情况下，谈论强制接种新冠疫苗是“过早和无益的”。她警告说，这可能会引起“强烈反对”。

Mr Morrison, in clarifying his position later, told 2GB radio station there would be "no compulsory vaccine but there will be a lot of encouragement and measures to get as high a rate of acceptance as usual".

莫里森之后澄清了自己的立场，他告诉2GB电台：“不会有强制疫苗，但会有很多鼓励措施，以获得像往常一样很高的接种率。”

Mr Hunt said they hoped to encourage mass take up of the vaccine with a range of "incentives and encouragement".

亨特先生说，他们希望通过一系列的“激励和鼓励”来让民众接种疫苗。

The cost of supplying the vaccine to the whole population has not yet been fixed. Separately, Australia has also signed a deal worth A$25m with Becton Dickinson, an American pharmaceutical company, to supply 100 million needles and syringes.
