The Center for Ethics presents 
Peter S. Hagerman ‘61 Lecture Series in Ethics

THE HUGE ETHICAL CHALLENGES  OF VACCINES TO PREVENT COVID-19

Dr. Arthur L. Caplan
Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University Langone Medical Center and the Founding Director of the Division of Medical Ethics

Join us at https://lehigh.zoom.us/j/99683623823 with Q&A Chat.

The evening will address whether the world can vaccinate its way out of the COVID-19 pandemic anytime soon. Caplan will discuss how, despite many pronouncements to the contrary, vaccines are not a magic bullet.

This talk will explain the obstacles facing research and distribution of any COVID-19 vaccine, how we ought to manage the distribution of limited supplies, what steps need to be taken to address the growing distrust of vaccines and the likely role of vaccine mandates.

The Center for Ethics is funded in part by the ENDOWMENT FUND for the TEACHING of ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING.
