Via MedScape comes AMA Spells out Ethics of Quarantine

Nov 08 – Frontline doctors are ethically bound to receive the first vaccinations against impending public health disease outbreaks, according to a new report by the American Medical Association’s Council on Ethics and Judicial Affairs (CEJA).

The report on the ethical considerations surrounding decisions to quarantine or isolate individuals exposed to illness was approved without objection on Monday by the AMA’s House of Delegates.

The article title doesn’t pay off on the title, as it doesn’t discuss the ethics of quarantine. But, as a “Frontline” doc I know I need the immunizations.
