COVID-19 Experience in Latin America: We have witnessed that pandemic of COVID-19 has triggered a health, economic and social crisis with worldwide effects. Social distancing and the generalized use of masks as policies have shown that are not enough to stop the spread, while ensuring that vaccines are the most effective measure to mitigate, or at least, to control the health emergency.
Placed the argument that immunization is the key to overcome the pandemic, immediately it is open the debate about the unexplored risks of vaccination and the eternity discussion of the rights of individuals, against the rights of the collective.
Andersen is willing to contribute to this debate, providing a technical analysis regarding the legal support of the mandatory vaccination and the effects on labor matter in Latin America’s countries. This document has been written without considering our personal convictions over the “must be”, with regards to the generalized inoculation of the population. Rather it has been conceived to understand what our laws set against to a singular situation that, as pandemic, has overwhelmed everything we thought foreseeable.
