Following the consideration of COVID-19 as pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), developing new vaccinations against COVID-19 was the dream of humanity. Leading companies competed to achieve this task. Several vaccinations have been developed relatively quickly.
The aim of the present study was to review the literature regarding medical, ethical, and legal aspects of COVID-19 vaccination.
Literature was reviewed regarding various issues of COVID-19 vaccinations.
The main findings showed that a dilemma exists in literature regarding the ethics in general in keeping the rights of individuals to retain their rights to receive the vaccine and considering receiving the vaccination as compulsory.
As the disease has become pandemic with high mortality rates, keeping the safety of the community has received the priority on individual rights, and many countries considered compulsory vaccinations.
世界卫生组织（WHO）将 COVID-19 视为大流行后，开发针对 COVID-19 的新疫苗成为人类的梦想。领先的公司竞相完成这项任务。已经相对快速地开发了几种疫苗。
本研究旨在综述 COVID-19 疫苗接种的医学、伦理和法律方面的文献。
文献回顾了 COVID-19 疫苗接种的各种问题。
主要结果表明，文献中普遍存在一种道德困境，即在维护个人权利以保留接种疫苗的权利和将接种疫苗视为强制性之间存在两难选择。
由于该疾病已成为高死亡率的大流行疾病，维护社区的安全优先于个人权利，许多国家考虑强制接种疫苗。
