The first panel discussion in the Solidarity and Vaccinations Series

Is it permissible to require vaccination of individuals in order to promote the health of the collective?

How much individual liberty does one have in decisions pertaining to one’s life and health?

The coronavirus pandemic has heightened the tension between individual rights and the public good in a wide range of areas. The vaccination issue is one of the clearest manifestations of this tension. In this panel discussion we will present the basic questions regarding vaccination and solidarity that pertain to Israel.
