Obrigatoriedade das vacinas: um conflito entre o direito à saúde e o direito à autonomia do paciente

Abstract

The present work of conclusion of the course is dedicated to the study of the conflict between the right to health and the right to autonomy of the patient, under the bias of the obligation of vaccines. Vaccines are an extremely important method of prophylaxis for the promotion of the right to health. Thus, it is up to them to prevent highly deadly contagious diseases such as measles and Covid-19. However, for its execution, it is necessary that the State respects the fundamental rights of the individual. The methodology was based on the literature review based on contents (books, articles, doctrine, law and jurisprudence), which were removed from the author's personal book collection, as well as from the online platforms SciELO, Google Acadêmico and DATASUS. In view of this, it was possible to prove the possibility of compulsory vaccines, but the research remained impaired as to the legal instruments to make such mandatory feasible.
