Why is there such an active and ongoing resistance to mandatory
vaccination? This book examines why vaccination as a public health
measure continues to be highly controversial. Objections to
mandatory vaccination are widespread in the world today. Rather
than being a new development, such objections have existed since
vaccinations were first introduced. This book provides complete
coverage of the history and background of vaccination issues in the
United States and around the world, along with a detailed
examination of the issues related to the use of vaccination today,
and supplies readers with the necessary information to consider if
the potential benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Vaccination Controversies: A Reference Handbook overviews the
scientific basis for and history of immunization as a method for
protecting individuals against disease, along with a review of the
social, political, and economic issues related to the use of
immunization in both human and animal populations. The book debunks
prevalent public health myths by clearly outlining the scientific
consensus behind modern immunization regimes. Also included are
profiles of important individuals and organizations within the
history of vaccination, a chronology of important events, as well
as pertinent reports, laws, and court decisions that give the
reader a greater appreciation of the issues surrounding
vaccination.
