This book explores issues surrounding measles and vaccination in
Pakistan. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research, it focuses on
two major outbreaks in Sindh Province and on Pakistan’s
vaccination campaigns. The chapters examine the responses to
outbreaks and vaccination from various stakeholders including local
people, the Pakistani government and the WHO. Inayat Ali reflects
on the competing agendas, differing conceptualizations of measles
and vaccination, and the factors that lie behind these
contestations. Situating outbreaks within the institutionalized
form of disparities, he analyzes the rituals used to deal with
measles and local resistance to vaccines in Pakistan. The distinct
imaginaries and practices related to measles and vaccination are
considered in national and global context, and the book makes a
valuable contribution to the development of an anthropology of
vaccination and medical anthropology of Pakistan.
