Why we need vaccines : how humans beat infectious diseases / Rowena Rae ; illustrated by Paige Stampatori.
"Vaccination is one of humanity's greatest discoveries. For thousands of years, people got sick and died from deadly diseases like the plague and smallpox. But since the invention of vaccines 200 years ago, humans can now be protected from these infectious diseases. The COVID-19 vaccine saved millions of lives--but its fast development also drew attention to vaccine hesitancy, misinformation and mistrust of science. Explore the history of vaccine discovery, the science of how vaccines work and why everyone should have equal access to vaccines. We can all be part of the solution to take down infectious diseases--one shot at a time."-- Back cover.
