We also highlight the questions that are in need of further investigation. In part 1, we briefly discuss nudging before (...) |

In particular, we propose a policy under which children would be vaccinated (...) |

The main question concerning pediatric vaccination has been whether the autonomy of parents outweighs the protection of the population. When children are seen as mature enough to be granted autonomy, questions arise about whether they have the right (...) |
