Vaccinations can be considered a public good because they provide benefits that extend beyond the individual receiving the vaccine, contributing to herd immunity and protecting the wider community from disease outbreaks. However, they do not fully meet the criteria of a public good, as they are excludable and rivalrous to some extent, given that vaccines require resources and infrastructure for distribution. Thus, while vaccinations have significant public health benefits, they are not a perfect example of a traditional public good.

An example of individual rights versus the common good can be seen in the debate over public health measures, such as mandatory vaccinations. Individuals may assert their right to make personal medical choices, citing bodily autonomy and personal freedom. However, public health officials argue that vaccinations are essential for herd immunity, protecting vulnerable populations and the overall health of the community. This conflict illustrates the tension between personal liberties and the collective welfare of society.

A public good would be a food bank or city garden. Fixing roads, and providing bike routes can be a public good.
Parks are an example of the public good, since they are a resource that is available to the general public. Hiking is something that people can do in parks. But hiking is not a public good, it is something that individuals do for their own recreation. Hiking is not generally intended to help anyone other than the hiker. If you went hiking and also collected litter while hiking, for proper disposal after you finished hiking, that would be a way of using your hiking for the public good. Of course, a well managed park or hiking trail should have no litter anyway. But sometimes there is.
