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. 2021-03-18T13:11:19Z 2021-03-18T13:11:19Z 2019 book 9781526126757 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/47392 eng Social Histories of Medicine application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Bookshelf_NBK545992.pdf Manchester University Press 6110b9b4-ba84-42ad-a0d8-f8d877957cdd d859fbd3-d884-4090-a0ec-baf821c9abfd 9781526126757 Wellcome 290 100586-Z-12-Z 100586-Z-12-Z Wellcome Trust Wellcome open access |
