Abstract

China and the United States have very different policies to deal with the epidemic. However, what is common is that both countries are aware of the importance of vaccination and have made efforts to improve vaccination rates. This paper uses a comparative study to compare vaccine incentives in China and the United States. Are positive or negative incentives more likely to motivate people to get vaccinated? Although the domestic situation is different, it can be seen that positive incentives are not very effective. Negative incentives can greatly increase vaccination rates, but are more difficult to implement in the United States. In the future, further improving the vaccination rate in the United States and promoting and strengthening vaccination in China are the key to prevention. This study also provides some ideas for vaccine incentive policies in other countries, especially in developing countries where medical resources are more scarce.
