Like other pervasive expressions of state power - taxing, policing, conscripting - mass vaccination arouses anxiety in some people but sentiments of civic duty and shared solidarity in others. 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.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmContributor: Stuart Blume (Edited by), Christine Holmberg (Edited by), Paul Greenhalgh (Edited by)Genre: MedicineBook Series: Social Histories of MedicineItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 562gAuthor: Stuart BlumeRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
