Abstract
La lucha contra la covid-19 nos invita a la reflexión y al cambio social. El
gran avance tecnológico y científico aplicado a la medicina ha hecho posible
que contemos con vacunas que resultan ser nuestra única arma contra la covid-
19, que, al tratarse de una enfermedad relativamente nueva, variable y sin
cura, es motivo de preocupación en las sociedades y ha llenado a la población
de dudas sobre la decisión de inmunizarse o no.
Desde que las vacunas estuvieron disponibles, las especulaciones y cruces
de información se incrementaron causando un temor completamente justificado,
motivo por el cual, impulsa a muchos a negarse a recibirla haciendo uso
del respeto a los principios fundamentales de autonomía y libertad. Si bien un tratamiento, lo cierto es que, no se puede dejar de lado el bien común y las
ventajas que tendríamos si lográsemos una inmunización completa.
Los gobiernos han realizado un esfuerzo garantizando la seguridad pública
y la protección, sin embargo, la información con respecto a las vacunas
debe ser oportuna, precisa y clara para que nos guie a tomar una decisión con
responsabilidad, respetando nuestros derechos y actuando en la búsqueda del
mayor bien social.

Which, as it is a relatively new, variable disease with no cure, is a cause for concern in societies and that has filled the population with doubts about the decision to get immunized or not. Since the vaccines became available speculation and information crossovers have increased, causing completely justified fear. Reason that drives many to refuse to receive it, making full use of respect for the fundamental principles of autonomy and freedom. While it is true, no one can force anyone to take a treatment. However, the common good and the advantages that we would have if we achieved complete immunization cannot be ignored. Governments have made their effort to guarantee public safety and protection. However, the information regarding vaccines must be timely, accurate and clear to guide us in making a responsible decision, respecting our rights and acting in search of the greatest social good.
