Sažetak

Infectious diseases are associated with great suffering and mortality. Alongside the evolution of medicine, vaccines have also been developed that can prevent certain diseases. Aware of the importance of vaccination, individual states have legislated for systems of mandatory vaccination, which differ from state to state. Although the importance of vaccination cannot be neglected, both for the individual and for the community, the patient may still be harmed by the vaccine despite careful medical attention. As a result, states have enacted ‘no-fault compensation systems’, which regulate the payment of damages to persons who have been harmed by a vaccine. Despite the importance of vaccination, the number of parents who are opposed to vaccination for various reasons is visibly increasing. With regard to the above and the outbreaks of infectious diseases that could be prevented by the vaccination, some states have tightened up their vaccination legislation.
