Welcome

Thanks for stopping by our new site. While the format here certainly resembles a blog, we're reluctant to use the term, as its connotation suggests a more opinionated voice than we intend to offer. Rather, our hope is to create an information clearinghouse (of sorts) on all things vaccine-related, compiling in one place important news, perspectives, and features that address the state of vaccination both in the United States and worldwide. We'll offer our perspectives sparingly, only to provide context or balance to the stories we cite.

Given the enormity of the topic, it would be laughable to suggest this (or any) site could be comprehensive in nature. Our goal will be to highlight items of importance, providing links to further resources for those interested in learning more.

For the record, any opinions expressed on these pages are only those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Penn Center for Bioethics or the Ethics of Vaccines Project.

We ask for your patience as we begin this endeavor and gradually increase content, links, etc. Feedback is welcome. Use the link at the bottom of this page to contact us directly.
