This book offers an ethical and legal framework to enhance responses to social issues related to the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and future pandemics. Its contents cover the most controversial topics in public health crises, including non-pharmacological measures such as confinement, compliance control, and the ethical, legal, and social acceptability of health certificates. It then delves into vaccine production, distribution, and administration, focusing on the design and implementation of vaccination policies. Finally, it analyzes the criteria for developing a triage when faced with a terrible scenario.

The analyses presented in this book are based on the ethical and legal frameworks of the European Union and aim to address the main dilemmas faced by liberal democracies in dealing with pandemics. The European legal systems have developed conceptual tools to ensure that restrictions imposed by political power in emergency situations are not arbitrary. This book builds upon these tools.

The Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues of Pandemics: An Analysis from the EU Perspective is a predominantly practice-oriented book that will assist policy makers in adopting policies that effectively balance public health needs with individual rights and freedoms. It will also help healthcare providers understand the ethical and legal issues involved in their work and citizens in general.
