The duty of ensuring epidemiological safety, including the duty to ensure vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 to people, is included in the framework of the national constitutional rights. The healthcare institutions providing vaccination and medical practitioners performing vaccination are one of the key assets of the national health care system, to whom the duty in the field of public health and protection of lives that is a part of human rights have been delegated. Violation of the epidemiological safety requirements in the Republic of Latvia, if it may cause a risk to human health, is subject to a fine. In this study, the authors have analysed the administrative offence cases, in which administrative liability has been imposed on medical institutions for performing vaccination with age-inappropriate vaccine, explain separation of administrative liability from criminal liability in such cases, reveal compensation mechanisms in the event of consequences, when inappropriate vaccination has caused harm to persons’ life or health. The results of the research show that no appropriate security measures have been introduced in the medical institutions to prevent or avoid administrative offences in particular cases, as the result medical institutions were subject to first-time application of administrative liability. Besides, there are lack sufficiently secure system for the examination and registration of patients in the medical institutions. The minor patients were unsecured and have been vaccinated with an inappropriate vaccine, because a specific (non appropriate) vaccine has been requested by the minors’ parents or the minors themselves.

使用不适合年龄的 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种的行政责任:拉脱维亚的经验

确保流行病学安全的义务,包括确保人们接种SARS -CoV-2 疫苗的义务,已纳入国家宪法权利的框架内。提供疫苗接种的医疗机构和实施疫苗接种的医生是国家医疗保健系统的重要资产之一,它们承担着公共卫生和保护生命领域的职责,这是人权的一部分。违反拉脱维亚共和国流行病学安全要求,如果可能对人类健康造成风险,将被处以罚款。本研究对医疗机构因接种不适宜年龄的疫苗而被追究行政责任的行政违法案件进行了分析,阐释了此类案件中行政责任与刑事责任的分离,揭示了该事件中的赔偿机制。当不适当的疫苗接种对人的生命或健康造成损害时,后果。研究结果表明,医疗机构没有采取相应的安全保障措施来防范或避免特定案件中的行政违法行为,导致医疗机构首次被追究行政责任。此外,医疗机构缺乏足够安全的患者检查和登记制度。未成年人患者没有安全保障,并且接种了不适当的疫苗,因为未成年人的父母或未成年人自己要求接种特定的(不适当的)疫苗。
