Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Vaccines: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers an accessible overview of the science, manufacture, and culture of vaccines in the United States and internationally, with needed updates in light of rapid advances in vaccine technologies and distribution. This second edition expands the lens of vaccine access and equity with authoritative insight into the following:
· How vaccines work
· History of vaccines
· Vaccine content and manufacturing
· Vaccine policy and regulation
· Vaccine injury
· Vaccines and alleged effects on autism
· Development of Ebola and COVID-19 vaccines
· Modern global vaccine hesitancy movement
Written by a leading authority in both infectious disease and vaccine education, this book offers a clear-eyed resource for students, clinicians, and general readers interested in the use, efficacy, and controversy surrounding vaccines. In a subject area defined by partisanship, it offers a reliable resource for what everyone needs to know.
A wonderful introduction to one of the most important public health advances of the past 200 years. It's a must-read for prospective parents, journalists, and anyone interested in health care and health care policy. Feemster is thorough, compassionate, and engaging-a rare combination that makes this important book a delight to read.
