Prioritizing Vaccines for Disease-Endemic Countries

Dr. Daniel Wikler from Harvard, a former World Health Organization ethicist, reviews the distinctive needs of developed and developing countries in the areas of basic health care. He weighs the relative significance of safety considerations and disease incidence in different contexts of vaccine administration. This bioethics conference is presented by the Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics, which is supported by Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, and the University of Washington School of Medicine.
