As part of the research project 'Rethinking the Ethics of Vaccination', led by Stephen John, I have been thinking a lot about vaccination policies. What justifies them? How should we distribute vaccines? When, if ever, should we mandate vaccination? Part of this research project has involved organising a workshop series - 'A New Ethics of Vaccination'. Details can be found below.

Get in touch, via email, if you have any questions. Also feel free to get in touch if you just want to chat about vaccination - I find philosophy is best done through the medium of a good natter.
