week 7: Final Ethics Discussion Board I have chosen an article about immunizations and health disparities as our final ethical discussion board. This is the link to the article: http://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/ethical-issues-and-vaccines. ; This is full of ethical concerns, and I do not want to limit you, so please choose something from the article to discuss, identify an appropriate provision from the nursing code of ethics, and what you think should or could be done to address it. I think this topic has many personal opinions to it, and you can mention these because the public can have the same and naming helps us figure out how to address those concerns. Please remember to cite both the article and the book.
