Resumen
OLIVEIRA, Thiago Pires y OLIVEIRA, Luzia Souza-Machado. The immunization of children in Brazil: legal overview and bioethical analysis. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.48, pp.227-243. Epub 11-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
The objective of this article is to analyze the legal and bioethical aspects of mandatory vaccination of Brazilian children. First, we present vaccination as a duty arising from fundamental right to health of children. Afterwards, it makes a bioethical discussion about the legal duty of children's vaccination, addressing the main bioethical problems involving vaccination, especially the post-vaccination adverse events. We conclude that Bioethics does not propose to establish coercive norms, but that it contributes to the solution of the moral conflicts identified in each concrete case by offering parameters. Brazilian law seeks to ensure the right to health in its collective dimension when establishing the mandatory immunization for children.
