The topic of vaccine mandates in schools has received increased attention since the development of COVID-19 vaccines, as many schools around the country consider requiring them for school entry in addition to already required immunizations. On January 25, Immunize Colorado hosted Dr. Daniel Goldberg for a discussion on the public health, legal and ethical justifications for vaccine mandates in schools. Dr. Goldberg is trained as an attorney, a historian of medicine, and a public health ethicist. His current research agenda in law, policy, and bioethics focuses on the social determinants of health, public health policy and chronic illness, health inequities, and stigma.
