Abstract

Most contributions to the first part of this book – with the exception of Jeroen Luyten’s article, which focuses on the difference between deontological and consequentialist reasons for obligatory vaccination – defend some form of egalitarian justice. This is, however, both an evident point of departure and a highly contested issue.
