Part 3: A bioethical approach to priority settings of vaccines. Case Norway
The Nordic Committee on bioethics (NCBIO) is hosting a webinar series on bioethical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Nordic countries. The aim is to identify ethical aspects of the pandemic, to look at policies and debates with a view on differences and similarities between the countries.
Part 3 of the webinar series is arranged by Nordic Committee on Bioethics (NCBio) in cooperation with the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board.
The contribution from Norway is based on a report from a working group established by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health to give advice to the Norwegian government on priority settings for the COVID vaccine.
The recommendations were published in Norway in November and can be read here.
Time and date: Wednesday, February 3 at 1:00 PM–2:00 PM (CET)
