(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Vaccines have been one of the most beneficial immunological discoveries to date and have already proven global impact by saving millions of lives. However, there has been a backlash against vaccines in the public and unfortunately, almost all without any scientific basis or rationale. Therefore, it is really important that the general population understands how vaccines work, why they are important and what are the consequences of non-vaccination. In particular, this module aims to challenge students to think about some of the ethical issues relating to vaccination e.g. is it ethical to prescribe mandatory vaccination?
