Vaccinated

“This extraordinarily fine, well-researched, and beautifully written book deserves the widest possible readership. More physicians should write this well.” - Choice magazine“Paul Offit has written a fascinating account of the development of vaccines, as seen through the life and work of Maurice Hilleman, one of the most important people that you’ve never heard of. One leaves Offit’s book with an appreciation of the profound effect vaccinations have had on life, and the challenging paths that Hilleman and others trod in developing them.” - Jonathan Engel, author of The Epidemic and Associate Dean for Academic Programs, Baruch College, CUNY“Offit gives the reader a window into the key scientific advances that have led to the modern age of vaccines… . [It] is a compelling story… . Offit brings interesting perspective to the characters of the time.” - Journal of the American Medical Association“An enlightening glimpse into the complex interface between public health and private industry, chronicling the ability of a singularly tenacious person to save more lives than perhaps any other scientist in history.” - New England Journal of Medicine“Medical writing at its finest.” - David Oshinsky, author of Polio and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History
