Recenzje

This book nicely blends sociological, historical, and philosophical considerations in an overarching account of vaccine mandates in California. However, the issues raised here are relevant to political and sociological reflection on vaccine mandates more broadly. Discussing vaccination policy after the COVID-19 pandemic will require the kind of interdisciplinarity and depth of analysis of which this book is a perfect example.
