Answer 1

Infectious diseases are those which disease condition which is caused due to poor immunity . It is caused by I fractious agents and gets transmitted from one person to another by contact , droplet etc . It's necessary to have vaccines available as a preventive measure to hinder infection . These vaccines should be made available either free of cost or at cheap cost by the government for the population it serves so, that it can be made useful for those who can not afford theses vaccines . I would use the Utilitarianism theory for this case study . According to this , an action is morally right if its consequences leads to happiness . In this case also we are working to have the positive results . By providing or making available anti-infectio vaccine , the population will be prevented from the infectious disease conditions which will help the individuals of the country to work hard in their sectors and progress which will directly affect the country's growth and development .
