Undoubtedly, the end of 2019 will be recorded in the annals of modern human history as a time which resulted in an unprecedented event. This is because this year, the global epidemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus broke out. This virus, on the other hand, leads to the development of an acute infectious disease of the respiratory tract, known as COVID-19. Therefore, the state of epidemic threat that was initially introduced in Poland, and then transformed into the current epidemic state, requires a particular reaction from the state authorities and also, it would seem, an appropriate response to the situation by the citizens themselves. In such exceptional circumstances, the obligation arises for the state to protect the life and health of its citizens, both in the area of enacting the relevant law and its implementation. However, there is a remedy for the growing number of new cases of COVID-19 and deaths in this context, namely the possibility of performing preventive vaccinations against this disease. This article aims to analyze and evaluate the legal regulations on preventive vaccinations against COVID-19 introduced in Poland. In this regard, reference is made to the basic assumptions used in the constitutional model of health care inPoland. In this context, the principle of equal access to health care services financed from public funds and the constitutional exceptions to the principle of equal access to benefits, such as children, pregnant women, disabled and elderly people are discussed, as well as the principle of the active role of the state in combating epidemic threats. These considerations are complemented by an outline of the statutory and sub-statutory solutions in the health care model. The analysis also covers legal solutions adopted with regard to the COVID-19 epidemic, and presents the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines as well as restrictions, orders and bans in connection with the epidemic. In addition, the compliance of the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines with the constitutional model of health protection is assessed, with the criteria for assessing this distribution in the context of establishing the state of the epidemic being singled out.

Wybuch pandemii wirusa COVID-19 na świecie spowodował konieczność podjęcia działań mających na celu zminimalizowanie negatywnych skutków dla zdrowia i życia ludzi oraz gospodarki. Wolności i prawa polityczne obywateli należą do najważniejszych praw w demokratycznym państwie. W Polsce Minister Zdrowia wprowadził w drodze rozporządzenia stan epidemii. Procedura i ranga przyjętych aktów prawnych od początku budziły wątpliwości konstytucyjne. Przede wszystkim niewprowadzenie jednego z konstytucyjnie określonych stanów nadzwyczajnych, w szczególności stanu klęski żywiołowej, który ze swej natury najlepiej odpowiadał sytuacji epidemicznej w kraju. Autorka wysunęła tezę, że stan epidemii ogłoszony w Polsce nie spełniał wymogów konstytucyjnych i brak było podstaw dla wprowadzonych ograniczeń wolności i praw jednostki. Dokonała również porównania rozwiązań prawnych wprowadzonych w wybranych państwach pod kątem ich konstytucyjności.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world made it necessary to take action to minimize the negative consequences for human health and life and the economy. Citizens’ political freedoms and rights are among the most important rights in a democratic state. In Poland, the Minister of Health introduced the “state of epidemic” by way of a regulation. The procedure and rank of adopted legal acts raised constitutional doubts from the very beginning. First of all, the failure to introduce one of the constitutionally defined states of emergency, especially a state of natural disaster, which by its nature corresponded the best to the epidemic situation in the country. The author put forward the thesis that the state of the epidemic announced in Poland did not meet the constitutional requirements and that there were no grounds for the introduced restrictions on the freedom and rights of an individual. Legal solutions introduced in selected countries in terms of their constitutionality are also compared.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world made it necessary to take action to prevent the further spread of the virus and minimize the negative consequences for human health and life and the economy. In Poland, the Minister of Health introduced an state of the epidemic by way of a regulation. From the very beginning, the procedure and the rank of adopted legal acts raised serious constitutional doubts. Just like omissions on the part of public authorities. First of all, the failure to introduce one of the constitutionally defined states of emergency, especially a state of natural disaster, which by its nature corresponded best to the epidemic situation in the country. That resulted in a legal state of chaos and a number of negative social and economic consequences. Therefore, it was reasonable to question who is responsible for this state of affairs.

Wybuch epidemii COVID-19 na świecie spowodował konieczność podjęcia działań, mających na celu zapobieganie dalszemu rozprzestrzenianiu się wirusa oraz zminimalizowanie negatywnych konsekwencji dla zdrowia i życia ludzi oraz gospodarki. W Polsce wprowadzony został stan epidemii w drodze rozporządzenia Ministra Zdrowia. Od samego początku sposób procedowania oraz ranga przyjmowanych aktów prawnych budziła poważne wątpliwości konstytucyjne. Podobnie jak i zaniechania, jakie nastąpiły ze strony organów władzy. Przede wszystkim niewprowadzenie jednego z konstytucyjnie określonych stanów nadzwyczajnych, a zwłaszcza stanu klęski żywiołowej, który swoim charakterem najbardziej odpowiadał zaistniałej sytuacji epidemicznej w kraju. Spowodowało to stan chaosu prawnego i szereg negatywnych konsekwencji społecznych oraz gospodarczych.  stąd zasadne było pytanie, kto ponosi odpowiedzialność za ten stan rzeczy.
