 e
DESCRIPTION:Asia-Europe Institute (AEI)\, Centre for Law and Ethics in Scie
 nce And Technology (CELEST) &amp\; UM Research Ethics (UMREC) WEBINAR\n22 
 January 2021 (Friday)\, 3pm – 4.30pm\nAbstract\nSafe and effective covid
 -19 vaccines are now potentially within reach. However\, due to the limite
 d stocks\, vaccines will\nneed to be deployed in batches over a period of 
 time. Hence\, this leads to the question of who should be the first to\nre
 ceive scarce COVID-19 vaccines. Any vaccination allocation strategy must t
 ake into account ethical principles and\nvalues to ensure the fair distrib
 ution of vaccines across our population. Ethical dimensions such as maximi
 sing benefits\nand minimising harms to human well-being\; mitigating vulne
 rabilities and inequalities\; as well as promoting social justice\nneed to
  be taken into account. In this regard\, there is much to be gained from l
 istening to and considering the views of\nexperts from different fields to
  gain a deeper understanding of how allocation strategies can and should m
 eet the needs\nof society.\nSpeakers:\n1) Prof. Datuk Awang Bulgiba Awang 
 Mahmud\, Faculty of Medicine\, UM.\n2) Emeritus Prof. Datuk Norma Mansor\,
