title: [The future of the obligation to be vaccinated: legal aspects].
abstract: Under French law, the authorities have the right to make some vaccinations obligatory, to recommend others, or simply to allow individuals to decide whether they or their children should be vaccinated. These political decisions must balance the public good against individual freedoms, and are more a question of pragmatism than of legality. In each situation, politicians and judges are faced with difficult issues of liability.
