| Summary |
"While vaccines are a hot-button issue, there is no scientific doubt that they have eradicated some diseases from many modern countries. Including sections on what exactly vaccines are, why they are used, and how they work, the narrative of this book explains this newsworthy topic in age-appropriate language and detail. Full-color photographs of actual medical conditions prevented by vaccines and illustrations of these diseases make each seem even more real to the future scientists engaged with each page"-- Provided by publisher. |
