Vaccine Nation by Elena Conis
America's Changing Relationship with Immunization
A concise history of immunization in the United States that explores how scientific advances, public-health campaigns, political struggles, and cultural anxieties have shaped Americans’ responses to vaccines. It examines episodes of both widespread acceptance and vocal resistance—showing how media, trust in institutions, race, class, and individual liberty influence vaccine policy and public opinion. By tracing these tensions across time, the book explains why vaccine controversies persist and how they reflect broader social and political forces rather than solely scientific disagreement.
