How to Ensure Vaccination Coverage for 100% of the US Population
It has become necessary to ration a vaccine for a contagious disease. There is only enough vaccine available to cover 25% of the U.S. population. It is now crucial to determine an appropriate method to ensure coverage for 100% of the U.S. population, but how?
Examine the following theories:
- Utilitarianism (expounds on creating the greatest good for the greatest number; the good of many);
- Rights-based (based on a belief that some things are just a person’s due);
- Duty-based (states some decisions must be made because there is an obligation or duty);
- Justice-based (seeks fairness and treats equally equal);
- Virtue-based (about a leader’s character that lays the foundations of moral good).
Is there any combination of the above theories or another theory that would guide you to a more ethical solution for distribution and the right order of distribution?
