Abstract: This is the first of four webinars exploring the ethics, equity, and justice issues in emergency authorizations for COVID vaccines. It will begin by examining the science and challenges in implementing the largest public health response to a global pandemic in the history of humankind. Basic ethical questions from genetic science in developing the most promising vaccines to justice concerns for those communities of color ravaged by the illness will be considered by experts and advocates in a panel format. The dialogue will touch upon our deepest beliefs about what we know and what we owe ourselves and each other. Claims about the sacred trusts we hold in society will be questioned. Clarifying what we can, what we ought, and what we must do will be our task.
