‘Andrea Kitta’s book on public concerns about vaccination is timely and profoundly importantHer account of the nature and sources of public concerns over vaccination is remarkably fair and well informed. I recommend this book to parents concerned about vaccination decisions for their children, as well as health professionals who advise about and provide vaccinations. It should also be read by those who teach health professions students and all with an interest in the intersection of culture and health.’ – David Hufford, Pennsylvania State College of Medicine
