In today's world, getting protected against sexually transmitted viruses is an essential. If I had to have an opinion on this issue, I would agree that children aged 11 and under should not be allowed to receive vaccines without parental consent since it is risky for the kid to receive a vaccination that is not appropriate for his or her present health status. Some youngsters have an undiagnosed underlying condition that can only be triggered when a certain vaccination is administered. Yes, giving children vaccines at a young age is good for keeping them safe throughout their lives. Allowing children to take vaccines on their own, however, is dangerous. And even if it is permitted, does the youngster really understand what they are taking and how it will affect their body? This issue should be thoroughly investigated before deciding whether youngsters should be allowed to receive vaccines on their own. However, if a minor desires to be vaccinated but their parents refuse, it will be determined by the minor's capacity and the law's acknowledgment of their decision. If the law acknowledges the minor's decision to be vaccinated, he or she can be vaccinated if they wish, even if their parents do not.

Teens and adults make different decisions, but not by much. I believe the main reason why adults make better decisions than teens are that they have accumulated a significant amount of experience over the course of their lives, which helps them make better decisions. With experience, decisions can be altered because the consequences are known and should be avoided if they are bad. Teens, on the other hand, have little life experience, leading them to make dangerous decisions that shape their development as adults, and it is for this reason that they are labeled as risk takers and adventurers. So, the key question here is whether the kid has gathered enough experience to match their decision-making to that of the grownups. Adults have the upper hand when it comes to making and choosing a decision if they don't. My statements are not founded on any web articles, but rather on personal experience. According to CITATION Chi \l 1033 (Childrens Right Aliance, n.d.) Health, education, family life, play and entertainment, an appropriate standard of living, and protection from abuse and damage are all rights that children have.

Allowing 11-year-old children to receive vaccines is deemed unethical since they lack the capacity to understand the vaccines being administered to them and might cost them in the long run if they develop clinical ailments as a result of the vaccination. Even in today's situation, where Covid 19 is spreading over the world, we are recommended to get the vaccination to protect ourselves. Yes, we are urged but not obliged to vaccinate our children and adults since they have the choice to choose whether or not to get vaccinated. Despite the fact that the vaccination is a cure for covid ...
