We had an overwhelming response to the question posed on April 22. We asked: Should a COVID-19 vaccine be mandatory? A decisive 1,473 out of the 1,697 opinion submissions (or 86.8%) responded, “No, it should be a choice”. The other 13.2% of submissions responded with “Yes, make it mandatory.” This represents a large opinion gap, which leads us to believe that our readers prefer to choose if they receive a vaccines or not. Considering a vaccine will not be safe enough for mass distribution for a little while, it is difficult to say what the opinion will be once the vaccine arrives.
