Review: This book reviews a variety of aspects that relate to vaccinolgy and looks at how they apply to infectious diseases that are associated with poverty. Topics range from vaccine research and development efforts for malaria, through AIDS and TB vaccines, to issues that are critical to the introduction of these candidates into national vaccination programmes. Chapters cover: economic aspects of vaccines and vaccination; the making and implementation of vaccines; public–private partnerships; R&D; regulatory issues; clinical trials; and vaccination programmes.
