Powszechny obowiązek szczepień gwarancją „bezpiecznego jutra”? – uwagi na tle krajowych regulacji prawnych i poziomu bezpieczeństwa sanitarno-epidemiologicznego Polski

Abstract

Guarantee of security in the public health sector is the foundation of properly functioning state. Health security in its material scope includes the legal system of public administration bodies in the sanitary-epidemiological safety sector, because goods protected by law such as life and health remain the focus of legal science. Numerous legal regulations focus not only on the protection of these values in terms of the whole society, but also in relation to individual groups of people, and ultimately to every citizen. This attempt to guarantee safety in the public health sector has led to the introduction of a general obligation to vaccinate. It was supposed to be a remedy for eliminating some infectious diseases from the Polish society. In the realities of these considerations there will be national legal regulations referring to this obligation of vaccination, as well as statistical data reflecting the level of sanitary and epidemiological safety of the country.
