This week I am reviewing an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association, entitled, “Mandating COVID-19 Vaccines.” This incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive piece discussed some of the pros and cons that policy-makers must consider when decided when and if to implement COVID-19 Vaccine mandates. Key take away points include:
1. Currently the mRNA vaccines available in the US are under emergency use authorization. (It would be a bit premature to mandate a vaccine under EUA).
2. There are already certain vaccine mandates in place. (Childhood vaccines and Influenza vaccines for healthcare workers.)
3. Businesses have some leeway under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to compel employees to submit COVID test results as a condition of employment.
I encourage you to listen to this week’s episode and check out the article at the link above. Please rate and comment on the episode and feel free to donate and support our efforts to provide information and education on medical ethics. It is my hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of patients that look like me.
TBDP is a volunteer passion project with the goal of inspiring all who listen. In-house music and audio production, so any ideas for improvements or suggestions for future guests are welcome.
