Just an interesting question here, if you are saying vaccination is a moral obligation does this mean you are a moral realist [0]? My guess is not.
You may mean to say for you vaccination is a moral obligation which if this is the case you are a moral relativist [1] and therefore your moral obligation does not necessarily apply to others.

- haltingproblem 6y agoOf course, my moral obligation only applies to me. But I can advocate for others to follow my line of reasoning through persuasion. Many moons ago, when I lived in a community where most residents were of the all-organic-no-vax types, I convinced the powers that be that vaccination was a moral obligation for the (mostly young) community due to the effects of infecting young and old and the resulting deaths. Everyone got a flu vaccine that year. I was not very popular after that ;(
