Legal Responsibility behind the Measles vaccination in «Law and Order Special Victims Unit» (2009)
Abstract Immunization against diseases trough vaccination is the one of the most important prevention measures. Preventive medicine involves an assembly of actions oriented to eradicate or minimize the incidence, severity of disease and disability. Three different levels are clearly identified as prevention strategies: Primary prevention, which implies the actions intended to reduce a certain disease incidence, decreasing the risk of new cases. It is constituted by actions focused on health promotion; Secondary prevention the measures to approach certain diseases frequency by shortening duration. Tertiary prevention is the one that is focused in reducing sequelae and disease?related disability. Vaccination campaigns are important as a primary prevention method for avoiding diseases. In the present essay following we will describe the prevention levels in the case of measles infection by analyzing a case exposed on an episode of “Law and order: Special Victims Unit” (2009), in which the consequences of the lack of vaccination are unveiled.
