Mass vaccination campaigns are political projects that presume to
protect individuals, communities, and societies. 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. -- .
