Vaccine, the leading journal in medicine and vaccine policy, published an article co-written by Professor Robert Field and Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania.

The article, “Evidence-Based Decision Making for Vaccines: the Need for an Ethical Foundation” calls for consistent and explicit ethical grounding when analyzing the value of vaccines and immunization policies and programs.

Field, a widely recognized expert on health policy and the law, holds a joint appointment at the Drexel University School of Public Health.
