The Ethics of Vaccination de Alberto Giubilini

The Ethics of Vaccination

Autor Alberto Giubilini
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2020
This open access book discusses individual, collective, and institutional responsibilities with regard to vaccination from the perspective of philosophy and public health ethics. It addresses the issue of what it means for a collective to be morally responsible for the realisation of herd immunity and what the implications of collective responsibility are for individual and institutional responsibilities. The first chapter introduces some key concepts in the vaccination debate, such as 'herd immunity', 'public goods', and 'vaccine refusal'; and explains why failure to vaccinate raises certain ethical issues. The second chapter analyses, from a philosophical perspective, the relationship between individual, collective, and institutional responsibilities with regard to the realisation of herd immunity. The third chapter is about the principle of least restrictive alternative in public health ethics and its implications for vaccination policies. Finally, the fourth chapter presents an ethical argument for unqualified compulsory vaccination, i.e. for compulsory vaccination that does not allow for any conscientious objection. The book would appeal both philosophers interested in public health ethics and the general public interested in the philosophical underpinning of different arguments about our moral obligations with regard to vaccination.

Recenzii

“The Ethics of Vaccination is a carefully researched and convincing project. … Giublilini is generally successful in providing an accessible knowledge base. … Giubilini’s thought-provoking plea for collective, institutional, and individual obligations to reach high vaccination rates serves as a powerful and timely voice of support for intergenerational justice.” (Marius Kunte, Intergenerational Justice Review, Vol. 7 (1), 2021)
“The author explores the ethical considerations around individual, collective, and institutional responsibilities to provide for herd immunity. He evaluates a ranking of vaccination policies from the least restrictive to the most coercive … . A worthy addition to health policy and medical ethics collections.” (R. L. Jones, Choice, Vol. 56 (10), June, 2019)
