Question

The Apple Tree learning Center requires all children who attend to comply with current vaccine recommendations and be up-to-date on immunizations at the start of each year. Applying Utilitarianism, describe whether or not this policy is justified and provide rationale for your answer.

Answer 1

Utilitarianism is one of the best moral theory that focus on the individuals action is morally good or bad depens on their effect. utilitarians think that what makes a morality be true or justifiable is its positive contribution to human beings. They beleive choose that action or policy that produces the largest amount of good.

When we apply this theory on this policy its completely justifiable because Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.

If all the children are immunized up to date before they join the learning center, it helps to protect them from getting infection or disease also minimizes the spread of diseases to other child. Hence, by following this policy of the institution; it leads to positive effect on the child's health.
