Abstract:
Background and Aim: The right to public health and well-being is one of the inalienable human rights that the government is obliged to provide and its related means. Public vaccination is one of the important tools of this right. Vaccination is mandatory in certain circumstances along with the determination of criminal and civil executive guarantees. In the research, we will investigate the legal possibility of forcing people to inject (coronavirus) vaccine in Iran's legal system.
Methods: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Results: Mandatory vaccination has a long history and has been observed throughout history in different societies during epidemics. With the emergence of the corona virus in the world and the need to end this dangerous epidemic, various countries of the world, including Iran's legal system, have moved towards the implementation of "compulsory vaccination" mechanisms.
Conclusion: Iran's legal system, in the form of a headquarters called the National Headquarters for Fighting Corona, is responsible for approving and communicating various regulations, including the requirement to inject vaccines. In the meantime, many supporters and opponents have discussed the possibility of this requirement. Opponents of this resolution have cited the powers of the National Headquarters to deal with Corona, the right to freedom, privacy and respect for sovereignty and rejection of compulsory vaccination. Proponents of this issue also point to the principle of welfare and benefit, collective interests, the principle of harmlessness and legal patriarchy, which is also considered the basis of criminalization.
