Vaccine Nation: Science, reason and the threat to 200 years of progress

While vaccination is arguably the greatest public health achievement in history, the disappearance of many diseases has also seen an increased focus on the side effects of vaccines and the rise of the anti-vax movement. The COVID-19 pandemic propelled anti-vaccination sentiment into the mainstream in an explosion of pseudoscience and disinformation.

In Vaccine Nation, internationally acclaimed epidemiologist Raina MacIntyre examines the history of vaccines, how they work, vaccine safety, public policy and new developments in vaccines to fight cancer and other chronic diseases. At a critical time when vaccination rates are falling globally, MacIntyre argues that science must reclaim the stage, or we will lose centuries of gains that vaccines have brought to the world.
