About this session
Dr Karen Patterson will cover a review of history of vaccine hesitancy, and unpack particular aspects of Covid-19 vaccine fears.
She will review the (scant) data on getting people to change their mind about medical decisions. As a pro-medicine, pro-vaccine person, Dr Patterson will pose the controversial question of how righteous we’re allowed to be when patients make “poor” decisions.
This lecture is part of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School's Monthly Lecture Series, designed for secondary school and college students.
