Abstract
This research seeks to address the legality of obliging an employee to receive the new Corona virus vaccine and the measures taken by the government to impose taking the vaccine to prevent the spread of this epidemic, and that such measures have begun to expand in their application in various parts of the world. Studies show that most countries in the world have begun to force their citizens or to restrict them. In order to receive vaccine doses out of concern for their health and the safety of society as a whole; The measure that Iraq began implementing during the pandemic period is not a new measure, but on the contrary, it is a measure issued under laws issued in previous times to confront this dangerous epidemic, which is no less dangerous than the diseases and epidemics that spread in the past and was a justification for legislating such preventive laws. However, we find that the procedures of the Crisis Cell and then the central government in imposing such a measure do not affect human rights in general and the employee in particular, given that they made the concerned person the choice between receiving the vaccine or submitting an examination every week that proves his safety from the epidemic in order to preserve his safety and the safety of those who come into contact with him.
