Abstract

With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, various legal issues have arisen worldwide, particularly in relation to vaccination, as there are individuals who have chosen not to be immunized due to different circumstances. In Ecuador, this group accounts for 17%, while the vaccinated population represents 83% statistically, creating a legal problem concerning two fundamental rights established in our Constitution: the Right to Health and the Right to Freedom of Non-Vaccination. This article will address the analysis of these conflicting rights in order to provide a possible solution.
