Government Protection from the Rights of Public Health by Mandatory Injection of Covid-19 Vaccine

 The Covid-19 epidemic has exacted considerable economic and non-economic tolls on human societies all over the world. Discovery of various vaccines, however, has, to some extent, curbed the disease, putting an end to unrestrained deaths. Nevertheless, vaccination as the method used to break the chain of infection, has also come in for criticisms. According to medical ethics and the legal systems, all medical interventions, whether therapeutic or preventive, require the informed consent of subjects. On the other hand, protection of public health is a fundamental duty assigned to governments with respect to human rights and other domestic and international laws, making it impossible for them to adopt a passive attitude towards refusal of individuals to get vaccinated. Moreover, Adoption of a careless attitude towards this disease endangers the public health of the society. Therefore, in the present study, attempts are made to investigate the legal and practical performance of different countries in relation to this disease and vaccination and thereby discover an effective approach to control and confront this disease with respect to state requirements.

 This research is of a theoretical type with a descriptive-analytical method, and its information has been collected using a document library method.
