The politics of vaccination. A global history
Edited by Stuart Blume, Christine Holmberg and Paul Greenough
"This collection of essays gives a comparative overview of vaccination
at different times, in widely different places and under different types
of political regime.
Core themes in the chapters include immunisation as an element of state
formation; citizens' articulation of seeing (or not seeing) their needs
incorporated into public health practice; allegations that donors of
development aid have too much influence on third-world health policies;
and an ideological shift that regards vaccines more as profitable
commodities than as essential tools of public health."
