Infection by COVID 19 virus became a problem worldwide. Despite the Government and the Center of Disease Control (CDC) effort in mitigating the impact of COVID 19 there is no control and the situation is evolving in different ways around the world. Mandatory Vaccination for all healthcare professionals has been used to enforce vaccination. As a result of refrain from been vaccinated employees are terminated from their employment, which represent an ethical problem because it doesn’t take in consideration determinant factors such as Population Health, Socio-Cultural Factors, Religious Beliefs, Population Immunity Status and Individual Rights and willingness to accept the vaccine. As a result, nurses and other healthcare professionals are separated from their position, increasing the shortage in the healthcare setting and creating an environment of distruth about the vaccine and government effort to control the pandemic.
4. Your Tentative Sources: Please create a list of at least four scholarly sources you are currently examining, including those you cited above. Two must be sources that in some way support your stance, and two must be sources that in some way oppose your stance. You must construct this list in full APA format and with each source employing full and correct APA standards.
