Teaching Practice: Compulsory vaccination COVID-19

1. Definition

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by a virus, The first
known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease quickly spread
worldwide, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Symptoms of COVID -19 are variable but often include fever , cough, headache , fatigue
breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and loss of taste.

Symptoms may begin one to fourteen days after exposure to the virus.

2. Covid-19 vaccines should be compulsory. Here’s why

Covid-19 has caused illness, death, destruction of livelihoods and disruption of education
on a global scale. The suffering, loss, mourning and deterioration of mental health are
incalculable.

Vaccines that prevent or mitigate Covid-19 infection are now increasingly available. Mass
vaccination will save millions of lives, prevent serious illness and allow hundreds of millions
across the globe to avoid any infection at all

All medicines, including vaccines, must be registered for safety, efficacy and quality
Registration is granted on the grounds that they are safe, effective and of good quality.
Covid is a contagious illness that in a significant proportion leads to serious illness and
death. Therefore, to prevent death, the state must vaccinate every person it can reach.

But what about those who refuse Covid vaccination? What rights do they have? And how
could they exercise them?

The state has a duty to respect, protect, promote and advance that right.

- The rights that Covid vaccination objectors assert are the rights to freedom of
religion, belief, culture and conscience.
- Vaccination objectors also assert the right to bodily integrity, including the right
not to be experimented on.
- Refusing to be vaccinated causes multiple forms of harm. It harms the objector
who may be infected with Covid, fall ill, and die. It may also harm those closest
to the objector

However, any person, whether employed or not, who refuses to be vaccinated must be
required to stay at home and to self-isolate as if they were in a hard lockdown.
