Please note: The perspectives shared in my reflection are personal and derive from my experiences and observations during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding human rights, within a limit of 1000 words. While I raise concerns about certain facets of public health protocols and requirements for vaccines, I acknowledge the pivotal role of vaccines in combating infectious diseases and protecting public health, particularly concerning influenza.
