Vaccine safety and ethics are integral components in the popular adoption and successful implementation of vaccination programs. They constitute those aspects that deal with physical safety-to ensure the vaccines do not cause harm as well as those aspects concerning the ethical tenets involved in their development, their distribution, and their administration.
