Would compulsory vaccination and treatment for COVID-19 be justified?

Lisa Forsberg, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Thomas Douglas and Jonathan Pugh from the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, have written a post on 'Compulsory treatment or vaccination versus quarantine' for the Journal of Medical Ethics blog.

The post makes a moral case for considering legal provisions for compulsory vaccination and treatment for COVID-19, alongside the restrictions on movement and association already being deployed. The blog post has been posted on the Journal of Medical Ethics blog and has also been cross-posted on the Practical Ethics in the News blog run by the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
