I have more volunteer shifts scheduled for the next few weeks. Is it ethical to start volunteering at a food bank in order to be vaccinated sooner? The moral saint would volunteer unselfishly at the food bank because it’s a way of serving the disadvantaged in her community. But volunteering for the food bank, even if for less-than-admirable reasons, is still a good thing to do. Once again, the vaccination isn’t a reward for that good act; it’s necessary to reduce the chances of people (including you) becoming infected at the food bank.
