Life-saving vaccines have revolutionised the promotion of public health. Over the last 50 years, more than 150 million deaths have been averted by vaccines worldwide - a life saved every 10 seconds of every minute of every day. Many millions more have been protected from the life-long effects of potentially crippling diseases and their sequelae. This interdisciplinary atlas examines the geographical and demographic impact of vaccines and vaccination on the population of Britain since 1901. Richly detailed and beautifully illustrated, it is an indispensable reference work for those in public health, epidemiology, demography, economic history, geography, the history of medicine and cognate fields. With almost 200 full-colour maps, graphs and photographs, it also forms a highly accessible and engaging aid for the instruction of undergraduate and postgraduate students.
