COVID-19 Vaccines: The Ethical and Legal Challenges to Immunization

This Diagnosing Health Care episode focuses on the legal history of the current immunization delivery system for vaccines in the United States. The system is complex and requires the coordination of many players, from manufacturers and distributors in the supply chain to health care facilities that provide administration, down to public health centers that track the doses. Special guest Richard Hughes IV, Vice President of Public Policy at Moderna, and Epstein Becker Green attorneys Victoria Vaskov Sheridan and Jessika Tuazon discuss the factors impacting an individual’s decision to get vaccinated and the ways that policies and practices at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels can support equity, transparency, accountability, availability, and access to COVID-19 vaccines.
