Why do some people refuse to have their child vaccinated? Are there any good reasons not to vaccinate one’s child? Why should one have one's child vaccinated if this doesn't make a difference to whether the community is protected? Why is vaccinating one’s child an ethical issue? In this interview, Alberto Giubilini and Katrien Devolder from the Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities and the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics discuss these and other questions, which Alberto Giubilini addresses in his new open access book 'The Ethics of Vaccination'.
