Infektionsschutz im liberalen Rechtsstaat

As the discussion on the introduction of mandatory vaccinations shows, there is nearly always a conflict between individual rights and public interests regarding public health questions. This book analyses if German infectious disease law has succeeded in solving this conflict. For this purpose, the conditions under which public health measures can be justified are considered. Based on this, the author examines if the central statutory provisions are in accordance with the constitution. In particular, this book deals with the question under which circumstances mandatory vaccinations can be established and whether the general clauses legally defined in German infectious disease law are in line with the constitution.
