Why do people remain unvaccinated? Globally, vaccination programmes have repeatedly led to heated debates.

In this toolkit, teachers and students discover different perspectives, including the two often-conflicting aims of protecting public health and individual autonomy at the same time. Activities include a game simulating the spread of a virus, and an ethical discussion on benefits and effects of vaccinations.
