Welcome to our new monthly feature which will showcase a new book available to borrow from your library service. The books are chosen by our team.
This month we have chosen “Stuck—How Vaccine Rumours Start – and Why They Don’t Go Away” by Heidi J Larson
Heidi is Professor of Anthropology, Risk, and Decision Science and Director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
See the review below for a taster:
“As the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the world, leaving disease, death, stigma, suspicion, and fear in its wake, COVID-19 vaccine development is running a marathon at a sprinter’s pace. At this inflection point, we should take note of Larson’s warning and hope: “We are yet to see how we will emerge from this crisis. Perhaps we have been shaken enough to get unstuck from our old ways and be open to a new future.”
