Immunization Reflection
Discuss the following prompts:
1. Discuss the delicate balance of public health protection versus individual liberty (i.e., personal rights and free will). Keep in mind that approximately 48 states currently grant exceptions for mandated immunizations based on religious objections, and approximately 19 states grant exceptions for moral, philosophical or other personal beliefs.
2. Is it ethically justifiable to mandate vaccinations?
3. What is your position on the exceptions offered?
4. Defend your positions relying on ethical arguments rather than personal beliefs.
