Description

Case Study: Imagine that Joseph Shoe a 21-year-old student at a state university in Illinois is spending 3 months in China on a study abroad program for the summer. While he is there, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) breaks out in Canada and is traced back to China. When SARS shows up in Canada, Illinois immediately creates a mandatory vaccine for all those who are currently in China or certain areas of Canada, or all those who plan to go there in the next few years. The new vaccination is commonly believed to be effective and is widely approved by the medical community. However, some in the medical community believe that the vaccination is worthless in preventing the spread of SARS and that it has injurious side effects. Joseph feels confident that he will not contract SARS. He has been in China for a month, is perfectly healthy, and is not in the region of the outbreak. He is willing to submit to a physical but does not want the “experimental” vaccination and its side effects. He also feels that this mandatory vaccination affronts his bodily integrity and violates his legal rights.
