Kores, Anja (author), Ovijač, Darja (mentor), Mlinar, Suzana (reviewer)

Uvod: Leta 2019 je Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija ugotovila, da je bila zadržanost do cepljenja ena od desetih groženj svetovnemu zdravju. Nadzor nad nalezljivimi boleznimi pogosto posega v pravice posameznika in s tem povzroča določene etične dileme. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je pregled znanstvene in strokovne literature, na temo etične dileme v zvezi s cepljenjem otrok. Metode dela: Kot metoda dela je bila izbrana opisno raziskovalna metoda pregleda strokovne in znanstvene literature, ki temelji na slovenskih in tujih virih. Rezultati: Kolektivna imunost je javno dobro in pomeni, da je vsak posameznik deležen njene koristi, za vzpostavitev pa je potrebna vsaj 95-odstotna precepljenost. Precepljenost prebivalstva z leti postopoma upada. Etično dilemo predstavlja dejstvo, da se cepivo uporabi pri zdravem otroku z namenom, da bi zaščitili posameznega otroka in skupnost, vendar mora tveganje nositi otrok sam. Obstaja več razlogov, zakaj se starši ne želijo odločiti za cepljenje svojih otrok, najpogosteje so to: strah pred neželenimi učinki, dvom v cepivo ali vlado in razna osebna prepričanja (verska, moralna …). Razprava in zaključek: Programi cepljenja so etično in moralno upravičeni. Pravična družba je dolžna zaščititi svoje otroke pred resnimi boleznimi, ki jih je mogoče preprečiti s cepljenjem. Več tujih raziskav je pokazalo, da je cepljenje najvarnejši način za preprečevanje nalezljivih bolezni.

• Title: Ethical dilemmas related to vaccination of children : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: The World Health Organization has identified vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health in 2019. Control of infectious diseases often interferes with individual rights and causes certain ethical dilemmas. Purpose: The purpose of this work is overview of scientific and professional literature, about ethical dilemmas related to vaccination of children. Methods: The descriptive research method was chosen to review the scientific and professional literature based on Slovenian and foreign sources. Results: Collective immunity is public good what means that each individual is receiving its benefits. It takes 95 % vaccination rate to establish it. Population vaccination rate is dropping with years. Ethical dilemma is represented by the fact that vaccine is used on healthy child, with purpose to protect individual child and community with child bearing the risk. There are several reasons why parents do not decide for vaccination of their children, most common are: vaccine side effects, doubt in vaccine or government and various personal beliefs (religious, moral...). Discussion and conclusion: Vaccination programmes are ethically and morally justified. A just society has a duty to protect its children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Several foreign studies have shown that vaccination is the safest way to prevent infectious diseases.
