The science of vaccines / Don Nardo.
"Medical experts worldwide agree that the period spanning late 2020 and early 2021 will be remembered as one of the most consequential in the history of modern science. COVID-19, a devastating, contagious disease characterized by acute respiratory difficulties, raged across the globe. Multiple vaccines have now been designed to fight back against COVID-19. Most often injected through a shot in the arm, a vaccine is a human-made substance that induces the body to become resistant, or even immune, to a given disease"-- Provided by publisher.
