The biotechnology industry has developed several vaccines in record time that are available to governments to be acquired, distributed and applied to civil society to stop the COVID-19 pandemic. The population must rely on vaccines as a means of acquiring herd immunity, otherwise we will have to acquire immunity by contagion. Bioethics focused on clinical ethics broadens its vision to social bioethics that recognizes the fundamental rights to health, life and the duties of the State regarding the acquisition, distribution, access, application and surveillance of vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. 19. The right to autonomy and individual freedoms and the civil duties of responsibility, commitment and solidarity in the face of public health policies are recognized. Social bioethics is an actor within the pandemic that is related to people, communities, the State and public health and that is argued in terms of personal ethics and responsibility. The objective of this article is to publicize the importance of social bioethics, integrated into the duties of the State, civil rights and duties in vaccination against the COVID-19 disease.

Keywords : COVID-19 vaccine; social bioethics; civil rights and duties; state duties.
