Penn Center for Bioethics Vaccine Project

The Center for Bioethics at Penn has announced "an 18 month effort to examine the vaccine field and propose an ethical framework to help guide researchers, pharmaceutical companies, public health agencies, health care providers and citizens regarding vaccines and their safe, effective and ethical use."

What a great idea.

The project has a new weekly summary of happenings in the world of vaccines, and a list of links to key institutions in the field.
[Update:University of Toronto has created an Influenza Pandemic Working Group that will in part take up vaccines as they relate to the broad questions on the table about the potential avian flu pandemic or others yet to come.
