ANDRADE, Sérgio Araújo et al. COVID-19 Vaccines: Bioethical Consideration. pers.bioét. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, e2527. Epub 23-Mar-2022. ISSN 0123-3122. https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2021.25.2.7.
The COVID-19 pandemic produced immeasurable impacts on the economy, education, and socialization, besides the loss of mi llions of lives. Thus, there has been an accelerated development of an unprecedented number of COVID-19 vaccine candidates to control the pandemic. The World Health Organization's emergency use authorization of COVID-19 vaccines still in clinical trial allowed immunizing the population. This paper presents a perspective of the bioethical precepts of autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice in the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of surveillance at all stages of vaccine development to detect adverse effects and ensure compliance with bioethical precepts.
