(Part of the IF Oxford Festival of Science and Ideas)
Vaccination has eradicated deadly diseases from our world and saved millions of lives; but why do some people refuse to vaccinate? This event, presented in partnership with the Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities will explore how medicine, ethics, history and social science can encourage wider debate and a better understanding of the role vaccination plays in improving global human health. Panellists include Alberto Giubilini (Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities), Samantha Vanderslott (Oxford Vaccine Group), Andrew Pollard (Professor of Paediatric Infection and Immunity) and Erica Charters (Professor of Global History and History of Medicine).
