The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 12, 2021

 

 

Since the start of the vaccine rollout, people have been grappling with questions of who deserves to get vaccinated fist, and whether taking the vaccine (if given the opportunity to take one but not technically eligible, or technically eligible but not at high risk) means that you're taking it away from someone who somehow deserves it more. Faith Fletcher, assistant professor in the department of health behavior at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health and a senior advisor to the Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute, talks about the right way to think about these sorts of questions and takes your calls.
