Abstract:
COVID -19 poses a major threat to safety and health of human life. Vaccination has become an important means to resist and prevent COVID -19. Under the background of limited global supply of COVID -19 vaccine and its initial application, it is extremely necessary to discuss its ethical principles. Based on the bioethics theory and in accordance with relevant laws and regulations on vaccine use in China, this paper put forward the ethical principles of COVID -19 vaccine use, including safety principle, respect principle, fairness and justice principle, optimization principle and humanitarianism principle, which provided reference for scientifically formulating COVID -19 vaccination strategy and forming a group immune barrier to effectively control the epidemic situation in COVID -19.
