Through 8 case studies (Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, India and Iran) 12 authors described for their country the change in status that took place at the end of the 20th century for one or more several Public Sector Vaccine Institutions (dismantling, closure, privatization, etc.) and the impact this may have had on national and international vaccination policies.

To accompany the release of the book, we also hold a launch conference on Tuesday 23 November at 8 p.m. (registration required) https://spui25.nl/programma/the-politics-of-making-vaccines during which 4 chapters of the book will be quickly presented and where the question of the geopolitics of vaccines will be addressed, in resonance with the covid-19 pandemic. Two guests, Dr Paulo Gadelha (former president of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation) and Dr Ole Olesen (Executive Director of the European Vaccine Initiative) will also be present to introduce the book.
