Abstract

This article argues that non-consensual vaccination is morally impermissible, for the same reasons for which sexual assault is not permissible. Likewise, mandatory vaccination is morally akin to sexual harassment, and therefore is not to be allowed.
Keywords: consent; bioethics; mandatory vaccination; sexual assault; sexual harassment; medical ethics
