商品描述

Vaccination has long been a familiar, highly effective form of medicine and a triumph of public health. Because vaccination is both an individual medical intervention and a central component of public health efforts, it raises a distinct set of legal and ethical issues -- from debates over their risks and benefits to the use of government vaccination requirements -- and makes vaccine policymaking uniquely challenging. This volume examines the full range of ethical and policy issues related to the development and use of vaccines in the United States and around the world. Forty essays, articles, and reports by experts in the field look at all aspects of the vaccine life cycle. After an overview of vaccine history, they consider research and development, regulation and safety, vaccination promotion and requirements, pandemics and bioterrorism, and the frontier of vaccination.

The texts cover such topics as vaccine safety controversies; the ethics of vaccine trials; vaccine injury compensation; vaccine refusal and the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases; equitable access to vaccines in emergencies; lessons from the eradication of smallpox; and possible future vaccines against cancer, malaria, and Ebola.

The volume intentionally includes texts that take opposing viewpoints, offering readers a range of arguments. The book will be an essential reference for professionals, scholars, and students.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

疫苗接種長期以來一直是熟悉且極為有效的醫療方式，也是公共衛生的一項成就。由於疫苗接種既是個人醫療干預，也是公共衛生努力的核心組成部分，因此引發了一系列獨特的法律和倫理問題——從對其風險和益處的辯論到政府疫苗接種要求的使用——使得疫苗政策的制定變得特別具有挑戰性。本書探討了與疫苗在美國及全球的開發和使用相關的各種倫理和政策問題。四十篇由該領域專家撰寫的文章、報告和論文，涵蓋了疫苗生命週期的各個方面。在概述疫苗歷史後，這些文章考慮了研究與開發、監管與安全、疫苗推廣與要求、疫情與生物恐怖主義，以及疫苗接種的前沿問題。

文本涵蓋的主題包括疫苗安全爭議；疫苗試驗的倫理；疫苗傷害賠償；疫苗拒絕及疫苗可預防疾病的風險；緊急情況下對疫苗的公平獲取；從天花根除中獲得的教訓；以及未來可能針對癌症、瘧疾和埃博拉的疫苗。

本書故意包含持相反觀點的文本，為讀者提供多樣的論點。這本書將成為專業人士、學者和學生的重要參考資料。
