Vaccination: Examining the Facts - Paperback

by Lisa Rosner (Author)

A RUSA Outstanding Reference Source 2023

This resource provides clear, unbiased, and up-to-date information on vaccination, which protects the world's populations not only from pandemics like COVID-19 but other dangerous diseases as well.

Everyone has opinions about vaccines, but what are the facts? This book asks - and answers - questions such as how vaccines work, what causes side effects, and how COVID-19 vaccines were developed so quickly. It also addresses broader questions, such as how to protect vaccine supply chains and how to prevent public health issues from being politicized. In addition to correcting well-known misinformation and misunderstandings about vaccines (such as false claims that they have been linked to autism), this book also provides up-to-date research on ways to counter misinformation and decrease vaccine hesitancy.
