Sammanfattning

Vaccinations raise many ethical aspects. Prevention is principally different from treatment. Personal wishes do not always coincide with those of society. The pros and cons of vaccinations may be differently experienced by separate stakeholders. Many vaccination programmes are intended for small children, who are characterized by reduced autonomy. Moreover, discussions are often created around volontary versus mandatory vaccination, around justice, solidarity and participation. To reach public trust in recommended vaccinations there is a need for respect, openness and sensitiveness.
