This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND
licence. Vaccinating Britain shows how the British public has
played a central role in the development of vaccination policy
since the Second World War. It explores the relationship between
the public and public health through five key vaccines -
diphtheria, smallpox, poliomyelitis, whooping cough and
measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). It reveals that while the British
public has embraced vaccination as a safe, effective and
cost-efficient form of preventative medicine, demand for
vaccination and trust in the authorities that provide it has ebbed
and flowed according to historical circumstances. It is the first
book to offer a long-term perspective on vaccination across
different vaccine types. This history provides context for students
and researchers interested in present-day controversies surrounding
public health immunisation programmes. Historians of the post-war
British welfare state will find valuable insight into changing
public attitudes towards institutions of government and vice versa.
