Abstract:
This article uses a real life case study to understand the legal ramifications surrounding practice when dealing with influenza immunization. There are often cases where people with diminished mental capacity refuse immunization. The Mental Capacity Act, 2005 is used as a framework to explain to the practitioner where they stand legally in such situation and how to work safely and competently within the law.
