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 will
appeal to 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.
