The Ethics of Vaccines and Health Care

Bioethicist John Brehany addresses the debate about whether it is ethical for Catholics to receive the currently available COVID-19 vaccines. He also reflects on how answering questions concerning bioethical issues ranging from end-of-life care to medical intervention and from contraception to vaccination is a form of accompaniment and ministry, critical in the life of the Church today.

John Brehany is the executive vice president of The National Catholic Bioethics Center.
