Edward Jenner : The Vaccination Visionary
Edward Jenner is a giant of modern medicine. Throughout history, smallpox had plagued humanity with disfigurement, blindness and death.It was an incurable blight, the suffering of which Jenner helped to end. Surmising from the immunity of milkmaids that cowpox might be some defence against the ravages of smallpox, in 1793 he took some of the matter from a human case of cowpox and inserted it into the arm of a young boy.To test this, the first human-to-human vaccination, he subsequently inoculated the boy with smallpox itself, and found him to be immune from the disease.In 1979 smallpox was declared extinct. In this concise biography, Rob Boddice tells the story of Jenner’s life, his medical vision and his profound legacy.It is a story that encompasses revolutions in medical experimentation, public health provision and the prevention of other diseases, from anthrax to measles, but above all it highlights the profound impact that Jenner’s vision has had upon humanity’s battle against disease.

Are there risks if the COVID vaccination is my first vaccination?
While there may be some risks associated with any vaccination, the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their safety and efficacy. If the COVID-19 vaccine is your first vaccination, it is still important to discuss any concerns or medical history with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated. Overall, the benefits of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 far outweigh the potential risks, especially in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death from the virus.

Anti-Vaccination and the Media : Historical Perspectives
This book explores narratives of vaccine hesitancy using samples from the UK press, and looks at the ways these have changed between the 1950s and the present.The work draws on a variety of research instruments including semantic network analysis and analysis of metaphor to provide a rich description of anti-vaccine narratives in different historical periods.The work considers the ways that concerns about and resistance to inoculation were informed by cultural and social pressures in two case studies, firstly that of polio in the 1950s and secondly the so called ‘pertussis crisis’ of the 1970s, wherein a period of social activism and newspaper campaigning led UK and US governments to offer compensation schemes for vaccine damaged children.The studies chosen provide a detailed comparison of the politics of childhood inoculation over two eras in the UK.Chapters also cover the use of metaphor and representational analysis in health communication, comparing ways in which the work of Moscovici, Sontag and other theorists can be used to provide complementary insights, and the affordances and concerns around the use of ‘big data’ analyses in historical work.The work also features discussion of the implications of the findings for approaches to more recent vaccination crisis points.This book argues that anti-vaccination narratives, far from showing a stable and coherent set of concerns, are highly mutable.The work compares anti-vaccination and conspiracy theory narratives, drawing out areas of continuity and schism.

Bodily Matters : The Anti-Vaccination Movement in England, 1853–1907
Bodily Matters explores the anti-vaccination movement that emerged in England in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth in response to government-mandated smallpox vaccination.By requiring a painful and sometimes dangerous medical procedure for all infants, the Compulsory Vaccination Act set an important precedent for state regulation of bodies.From its inception in 1853 until its demise in 1907, the compulsory smallpox vaccine was fiercely resisted, largely by members of the working class who interpreted it as an infringement of their rights as citizens and a violation of their children’s bodies.Nadja Durbach contends that the anti-vaccination movement is historically significant not only because it was arguably the largest medical resistance campaign ever mounted in Europe but also because it clearly articulated pervasive anxieties regarding the integrity of the body and the role of the modern state.Analyzing historical documents on both sides of the vaccination debate, Durbach focuses on the key events and rhetorical strategies of the resistance campaign.She shows that those for and against the vaccine had very different ideas about how human bodies worked and how best to safeguard them from disease.Individuals opposed to mandatory vaccination saw their own and their children’s bodies not as potentially contagious and thus dangerous to society but rather as highly vulnerable to contamination and violation.Bodily Matters challenges the notion that resistance to vaccination can best be understood, and thus easily dismissed, as the ravings of an unscientific “lunatic fringe.” It locates the anti-vaccination movement at the very center of broad public debates in Victorian England over medical developments, the politics of class, the extent of government intervention into the private lives of its citizens, and the values of a liberal society.

Is cross-vaccination recognized?
Cross-vaccination, also known as heterologous vaccination, is a concept that is being explored in the field of immunology. It involves using different vaccines to boost the immune response against a particular pathogen. While the idea shows promise in enhancing vaccine efficacy and providing broader protection, more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and risks. Some studies have shown positive results with cross-vaccination, but it is not yet widely recognized or recommended as a standard practice.
