Abstract

Since the launch of the Covid-19 global vaccination campaign, postsecondary institutions have strongly promoted vaccination, often through mandates, and the academic literature has identified "vaccine uptake" among postsecondary students as a problem deserving monitoring, research, and intervention. However, with the admission that vaccines do not stop viral spread, that older-age and co-morbidities are major determinants of poor outcomes, and that many vaccine side effects disproportionately affect the young, it cannot be assumed that a risk-benefit analysis favors vaccinating postsecondary students. Drawing from critical policy studies, I appraise the literature on Covid-19 vaccine uptake in postsecondary education. I find that this literature reflects the "scientific consensus," hardly acknowledging contradictory medical evidence, ignoring coercive elements underlying "vaccine acceptance," and neglecting ethical tensions built into the very design of vaccination policies. I discuss potential explanations for my findings, and their implications for academia's role in society in the COVID-19 era and beyond.

高等教育中的Covid-19“疫苗接种”是一个“问题”吗?一个关键的政策调查。
自启动Covid-19全球疫苗接种运动以来,高等教育机构通常通过授权大力推广疫苗接种,学术文献已将高等教育学生中的“疫苗摄取”确定为一个值得监测、研究和干预的问题。然而,由于承认疫苗不能阻止病毒传播,年龄和合并症是不良结果的主要决定因素,以及许多疫苗副作用对年轻人的影响不成比例,因此不能假设风险-效益分析有利于为大专学生接种疫苗。根据重要的政策研究,我评估了关于高等教育中Covid-19疫苗接种的文献。我发现这些文献反映了“科学共识”,几乎不承认相互矛盾的医学证据,忽视了“疫苗接受”背后的强制性因素,忽视了疫苗接种政策设计中存在的伦理紧张关系。我讨论了对我的发现的可能解释,以及它们对学术界在COVID-19时代及以后的社会角色的影响。

期刊介绍: Health: is published four times per year and attempts in each number to offer a mix of articles that inform or that provoke debate. The readership of the journal is wide and drawn from different disciplines and from workers both inside and outside the health care professions. Widely abstracted, Health: ensures authors an extensive and informed readership for their work. It also seeks to offer authors as short a delay as possible between submission and publication. Most articles are reviewed within 4-6 weeks of submission and those accepted are published within a year of that decision.
