Jones, L. (2019). Mandatory Vaccination. The American Journal of Nursing, 110(3), 13–13.
According to Jones (2019), taking advantage of the population in fear of an infection or a disease outbreak to try and sway them for a vaccine that is approximately 50% is not appropriate. Vaccination is important to people’s lifestyles and choices but it should not be mandatory because that would be interfering with the people’s rights and freedom. The government needs to roll out the vaccination processes with a good initiative to get numerous people to voluntarily accept the program but not a compulsory process. Jones explained that the fact that there is “interference with people’s rights and freedom it is not right to take part in a program that would deny people the mandatory vaccination” (2019). The inaccuracy of the vaccines and the fact that there is no clear understanding of the negative consequences and reactions of the vaccines makes it a major threat. The concept makes it a major problem because people will not willingly jeopardize their health instead, they do need a healthy standard which will make it easier to change their interactions which is important towards their practice.
Offit, P. A., & Salisbury, D. M. (2021). Childhood vaccination: should it be mandatory? BMJ: British Medical Journal, 344(7858), 18–19.
Offit explained that childhood vaccination should be mandatory because it helps protect people from infections (2021). However, Salisbury thinks that “mandatory issuing of vaccines is not an option instead there are alternative approaches that the government can easily utilize” to help make sure that there is a higher uptake of the vaccinations (2021). It is evident that the government might have the best interests for its people but the research and the effects of the vaccinations are usually not clear and this is what makes numerous people skeptical. The mandatory sense of the vaccine will help get rid of a disease or an outbreak within a short duration and help save millions of lives which is vital for the way that they do advance the health protocols and principles that would shape and change the way that they embrace the concept of vaccinations. The general belief of the most of the public is that the government needs to be forthright with the consequences of the vaccines and all the possible effects. The clear understanding of such impacts will help make it easier to change and improve the appreciation by the public towards the vaccinations.
Lambert, S. B. (2020). Patient Care Drives Mandatory Vaccination. BMJ: British Medical Journal, 337(7680), 1188–1188.
According to Lambert (2020), patient care demands for mandatory vaccination because it seeks to increase its beneficiary of the service. The program runs to make sure that there is a vaccination program that sees them “cut the costs on medical procedures and approaches which is vital for the way that they do achieve their interests (Lambert, 2020)”. It is important to understand that health standards will help make sure that they achieve the best principles and outcomes that would see a conclusive health program. Lambert explained that mandatory vaccination will help cut back on the level of people needing patient care and the rate of illnesses and disease outbreaks that will help improve and change the way that they do connect (2020). It is important to understand that the health principles in the society are to make sure that the population remains healthy and thus it is important to understand the mandatory vaccines will help improve their outcomes. The organization works towards achieving their right outcomes for the majority of its population which is important for the way that they do conduct their goals but it is not the right approach. There is need for democracy in health thus it is important to give people their right to choose which is vital for allowing people to choose to get vaccines or to deter which should be a personal choice.
Cave, E. (2017). Debating the future of mandatory vaccination. BMJ: British Medical Journal, 358.
According to Cave (2017), future vaccination is an important prospect that would help make sure that they do change or improve the health standards across the world. The rate at which there is an increase in the medical risks makes it a major threat thus its mandatory vaccination becoming an important principle. For instance, the recent Covid-19 outbreak that got the entire world on its knees would suffice within a short time with mandatory vaccination. “The previous Spanish flu disease outbreak led to death of millions and vaccinations helped put an end to the disease thus it was a tough lesson (Cave, 2017)”. The possibility of the vaccinations being mandatory is high but it might start with specific directives such as those travelling outside of the country or to certain parts of the country, or healthcare providers, or those working in the public service. The concept will help make sure that there is a minimization of the repeat of the events that threaten the larger population. It is important to acknowledge that the future is seeing the introduction of new principles and laws but it is also a new approach and understanding of the world which influences the democracy level in the country which changes the way that they can improve their interactions and outcomes. Most people will decline mandatory vaccinations with the basis that interferes with their rights which is not appropriate thus it is important to find what works for all the people.
Killmond, M. (2017). Why Is Vaccination Different? A Comparative Analysis of Religious Exemptions. Columbia Law Review, 117(4), 913–952.
Killmond explained that the approach to vaccination is a problem because it is a major political heated topic which makes it integral in all the decision-making processes within the state and country (2017). The vaccination concept is a problem that even led to the Supreme Court to intervene which proves that some people argue on the subject in relation to their religious beliefs. Some religions and denominations have certain demands and directives when it comes to vaccinations and thus it is important to acknowledge and respect such freedoms. People do not need to force the religious beliefs onto the people but instead try to make sure that they do accommodate the interests of the people to help salvage the case. Vaccination is a sensitive topic because it is a political influencing issue and this changes the narrative of numerous people thus it is important to come up with the right prospects to avoid causing numerous issues (Killmond, 2017). Religious exemptions are influential and it is a strong arguing point because it influences a large number of people, because similarly to abortion some religions disagree while other approve which results to a major difference in opinions. It is important to understand that religious background is influential since they do change and have a major influence to the people’s choices and decisions in the society.
