Abstract

The Covid‐19 pandemic has raised a range of complex challenges for the research community in the United States. This essay uses Covid‐19 as a model pandemic illness to consider two such issues that have yet to be fully explored in the ethics literature: first, whether the informed consent process should include a discussion of pandemic risks and, if so, how precisely these risks should be conveyed to potential research participants and, second, whether and under what circumstances vaccination status should be taken into consideration when enrolling subjects in non‐pandemic‐related studies during a pandemic.
