Rhodes covers many fascinating details in immunology and the history of vaccine discoveries, as well as the basic science behind the development of COVID-19 vaccines, a topic which couldn't be more important. --Daniel M.

He is not only a well-respected immunologist, but also has personal experience in vaccine development. --Eddy Liew, University of Glasgow This concise book is wide-ranging in the topics covered; from the history of immunology and vaccinology to the early development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines. It explains many of the areas of vaccine development that are rarely discussed, leaving the public wondering what takes so long, and reminds us that vaccines are a wise investment for both our own health and that of the economy. --Sarah Gilbert, University of Oxford Author InformationJohn Rhodes is a UK-based international expert in immunology and vaccine discovery.
