The publication includes a series of news features, comment pieces and research papers looking at the achievements of vaccination as well as future challenges.

The editorial – Modern heroes: the great achievements of vaccines are not confined to the past – neatly sums up vaccination in the early 21^st century: “the undiminished promise of vaccines, and the factors that threaten it – complacency, funding shortages and the unease that vaccines provoke in so many people.”

Other features include:
