10. Lošinjski dani bioetike - Hrvatsko filozofsko društvo

češće djeca Roma, ali i druge marginalizirane kategorije. Posebno važna
kategorija su djeca imigranata i tražitelja azila, koja deklarativno imaju sva
prava, a u praksi je ipak drugačije, jer mnoga od njih nisu ni registrirana.
Otvaranjem granica bit će više migracija, što će nametnuti imunizaciju kao
važan problem.
IMMUNIZATION AS A UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHT
OR AN ETHICAL PROBLEM
Immunization is the most efficient and most effective measure for the
prevention of a large number of infective diseases. At the same time, it
is one of the proclaimed children’s rights. According to the “Health for
all in 21st century”, Goal 7 refers to the decreasing of infectious diseases
and says: “Until 2020 the harmful effects of illness should be decreased
through systematic applied programmes of eradication, elimination or control
of infectious diseases important for public health.” The realization of
this Goal should lead to the elimination of poliomyelitis, tetanus, morbilli
and to put under control and influence the decreasing of diphteria, viral
hepatitis B, parotitis, pertussis, diseases caused by Haemophilus influenzae
and the decreasing of congenital syphilis and rubella under 0,01/1000 live
births.
Despite this Goal, in the most countries that have provided sufficient
quantities of vaccines, not all children are immunized. In our area, these
are mostly Roma children and other marginalized categories. An especially
important category regards children of immigrants and asylum applicants
which declaratively have all the rights, but it is different in practice, because
many of them are not even registered. By opening the borders there
will be more migrations and it will impose immunization as an important
problem.
