Beschreibung
This timely new edition not only further explores vaccine controversies in detail, but it also adds new chapters and updates information on the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on this issue. Solutions to dispel the misinformation and myths that surround vaccines are also discussed in greater depth.
For centuries the world lived in fear of epidemics caused by infections. It was not until the advent of vaccines to prevent these deadly diseases that they have become a distant memory of a bygone era. Unfortunately, these remarkable advances in medicine have given rise to a new set of fears about the adverse effects of vaccines.
Until the past century, the fear of contracting illnesses far outweighed those of vaccination, and medicine all but eradicated many of these deadly diseases. The relatively undisputed acceptance of vaccinations changed through the 1960s, when unease grew in line with the increase in vaccine development. This contributed volume deals with all of these controversies with updated and new information including:
- Insights from Public Health: An Updated Framework for Understanding and Fostering Vaccine Acceptance
- The Role of Immunizations in Infection Prevention in the Healthcare Environment
- Is There a Relationship Between Vaccines and Autoimmunity, Allergies, and Asthma?
- COVID-19 Vaccines Innovation and Challenges
- Expansion of the Adult Immunization Schedule: How this Has Influenced Vaccine Hesitancy
- The Influence of New Vaccine Technologies on Vaccine Hesitancy and Fears
- The Future of Vaccines and Vaccine Confidence
As the memory of mass infection fades, the fear of vaccines themselves continues to build in popular belief and in the media. The COVID pandemic has only added fuel to this fire. The second edition of Vaccinophobia and Vaccine Controversies of the 21st Century could not be better timed to bring readers up to date on the latest controversies and how to address them. The book is an essential resource for healthcare personnel, particularly vaccine providers including practitioners in pediatrics, family medicine, primary care, and nursing. It is also useful reading for trainees and researchers in child development, maternal and child health, and public health.
