ABSTRACT
I started my work in bioethics with a foray into the study of the ethics of childhood vaccination. As a practicing clinician, I was confronted by the seemingly ever-raging debate about vaccines, and the doubts expressed by some about vaccination. It raised in me various questions – ethical and otherwise – about childhood vaccines, which eventually led to many years of scholarly work and study in this field. My PhD thesis focused on the ethical aspects of measles vaccination in children. I published a host of articles on the ethical implications of vaccination for society, parents, and medical practitioners.
