In How to Make a Vaccine, Dr. John Rhodes, an immunologist with firsthand experience developing vaccines, unravels the mystery of how vaccines are designed, tested, and produced at scale for global deployment. Concise and accessible, this book describes in everyday language how the immune system evolved to combat infection, how mutated viruses evade our defenses, and how vaccines do their work. Rhodes draws on his experiences, including working alongside a young Anthony Fauci, to describe how discoveries in the fight against COVID-19, such as the recent breakthrough in the development of nucleic acid vaccines, never before used in humans, are also empowering scientists to combat future threats to global health.
