Vaccines: A Graphic History | Paige V. Polinsky
1 post | 1 read
Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! Vaccines have been used to safely introduce people's bodies to diseases for centuries, and they save millions of lives each year. By giving people a weakened or dead version of a disease, a vaccine allows the body to develop antibodies which recognize and fight the disease later on. Early vaccinations used dry scabs from smallpox to promote smallpox immunity. Doctors and scientists across nations took and improved the method, developing vaccines for health crises from whooping cough to polio to COVID-19. This graphic history features famous cases and current challenges, including the time frame for creating a new vaccine.

This is shorter than I thought and I'm not sure what age group it's aimed at. It uses some fairly technical terms (like “live attenuated vaccine“) but simplifies things a lot. I probably wouldn't super recommend it because it's kinda... neither one thing nor the other. The info isn't wrong as far as it goes, but it doesn't explain things in much depth, despite using quite technical terms.

And that's a blackout! #ComicsBingo
