European Standards on Compulsory Vaccination: e Case Against No-vax Objections

The debate concerning compulsory vaccination is once again at the center of the stage as the only hope to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be a wide-spread vaccination campaign. Indeed, there is a general consensus that vaccination is one of the most successful and cost-effective health interventions and that each State should aim to achieve the highest possible level of vaccination among its population. When it comes to the best means of protecting the interest at stake, however, there is no consensus over a single model. Tis is the case today as a wide spectrum of policies are being implemented, ranging from ones based wholly on recommendations to ones that are enforcing forms of compulsory vaccination.
