This sort of stuff makes my blood boil
What's next then? Immunising against depression, social irritability and work sickies?
Of course no list of injectable compliances would be complete without eradicating the most evil of all evils i.e. having any tendency to vote for something other than 'real liberal' cleansing 
FFS, if a government wants to play God then why at least not start with some real life improvement for terminal patients by allowing broader genetic research. Be
humane even if that requires using human embryos at this – the embryonic stage of the science.
What should be realized of course, is that if this was to somehow eventuate, like the immune program incentives previously introduced, those who complied would naturally expect something of a 'direct' financial pat on the back.
1984; it's come and gone, hasn’t it?
If this is the way conservative governments are to apply new technology, then one ought to think very carefully about being a part of the next medico-technical revolution. Nano machines could be used as mini doom stars of infinite capability. They could be reprogrammed remotely with each incoming government. In principle, it would not much different to current political strategy - especially with a 'no recompense' plan of intentionally broken promises, aye Johnny
"How does this program look sir"
"Very good James, It looks as if we can really improve public acceptance of us, the new government. All that from simply through instilling [installing] a subtle confidence steeped in public awe, thereby ensuring an optimal degree of social compliance. Don't you just love nano technology James?... may as well upload it to the masses"
"Certainly sir" ...Cllliiick
Of course, with nano-immunized citizens, individual longevity would also need to be preselected in accordance with rising public health costs (i.e. if there is any future benefit scheme). But in a Right –> Further Right world, a few extra paid tax dollars may make all the difference to your family's life expectancy.....
Sure it's all seems like a wildly paranoid fantasy, but technology wise, it's all within foreseeable reach. Just remember, most earthly bound inhabitants are followers, and like fodder for hungry sheep, immuno-nano tech will, in all likelihood be something society at large embraces with open arms. What do you think the next big money application for molecular docking (SAR predicting- drug discovery) software will be, if not in areas of bio-nano-programming? It's already happening.
If you are to become a part of this Behaving New World, just make sure you're connected enough to get prototype copies with manual override and a hackers port.... 8(
Step up for your compliance shot. You only need one, and in the eyes of the great leaders, you'll be
set for life

Of course the irony, if drug immunizations
were to be endorsed by governments, is that it will lead to criminal groups developing and marketing new drugs. Authorities might be able to immunize against heroin, but they couldn't block all the actions of all opioids because other opioids are used in medicine. So any effort to strip the market of heroin, cocaine etc, would simply result in new types, or uncommonly seen forms of the drugs being sold on the street.
What governments need to remember is that the direction the illicit market heads in, doesn't necessarily only reflect consumer demand. It may have done in the past, but the market is vastly bigger today and numbers of crime lords abound today.
And like successful networking seen in the bootlegging days of prohibition, collaboration does go on (or there would be more deaths from rivalry - which proportionally speaking, we don't see)
IMO, the National market is far from saturated. The efficient internal structure which appears to exist, and the huge profits made from drugs will very likely mean the problem won't go away over night. Reducing demand is essential, but immunization is NOT the way to go about it.
Any idea of reducing the market this way is bullshit. There's just too much money earned by too many smart crooks who've got way too many resources at their disposal...It ain't gonna happen, people will always want to get high
