From the reviews of the second edition: "What the book delivered was a curious juxtaposition of historical perspective alongside a modern commercial approach: from what went wrong in the swine flu vaccination incident of 1976 in the USA, to which companies are using M2 protein conjugates. ... This type of information is quite hard to glean from the academic literature. It was also great to get solid information about the state of the art today ... . Overall there is some useful detail in this book that is hard to get elsewhere." (Wendy Barclay, Microbiology Today, May, 2011)
