Answer to Question #197610 in Philosophy for Elha

Question

Assuming that you have agreed to be vaccinated, do you think it is ethical to choose the brand of covid 19 vaccine that you will take? Why or why not?

Answer 1

A vaccine is an essence used to arouse the making of antibodies and give immunity against quite some diseases. According to my concern, it is not ethical to choose the brand of the covid-19 vaccine because there are many factors considered before recommending a certain vaccine to be used, doctors are the one who knows and understands whether certain Covid-19 vaccine is better suited for different population depending on their health stipulation.

Before a certain brand of vaccine is recommended to be used by people there are many factors that are examined and taken into concern. Recommendation of a vaccine to be safe for the human being is not a decision of a single person or an organization therefore many experts from a different organization, consider many factors before declaring a certain brand of vaccine to be safe for the human being. Some of the factors that are considered by the world health organization are, age of the people in the region, the health condition of people in the region, and allergies to any vaccine ingredients

However, according to the medicinal experts, it is important to take whichever vaccine offered to you which are, Johnson& Johnson, Pfizer, and Modern vaccines that are at present certified in the united state which has all been revealed to be successful at preventing diseases. Before taking any we should seek advice from doctors to find out which shots are effective to us considering our health status. Doctors are the one who knows and understands whether certain Covid-19 vaccine is better suited for different population depending on their health stipulation. In addition, what the world organization offered to people in the world is best to protect and keep people safe and for that reason, there is no need to choose the brand of covid-19 vaccine over the other since all of them are examined and proven to be secure for the person.

Due to the above reasons is not ethical to choose the brand of covid-19 vaccine to take.
