ABSTRACT. We develop a conceptual framework based on a systematic and comprehensive literature review on whether it is ethically and legally acceptable for governments to require citizens to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Building our argument by drawing on data collected from Ada Lovelace Institute, Ipsos, McKinsey, Morning Consult, The Serco Institute, and Survation, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions towards mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. The data for this research were gathered via an online survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.

Keywords: COVID-19; immunity passport; vaccination certificate; ethics; law
