Abstract

When you go to the doctor’s office for an immunization you might not be thinking about the significance of that little poke, but there is so much more to it than you’d imagine. In Vaccination Investigation, Tara Haelle digs into the history and science behind vaccinations—how they work, why they’re important, and what happens when people refuse them. She also talks about the deeply historical origins of inoculation, the threat of deadly pathogens, and our world’s future as far as infectious diseases are concerned.
