As we near the time when we may be protected from COVID-19 by vaccination, it’s vital that we be willing to receive that protection. As I thought about this matter, I remembered an excellent article on the subject prepared by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) that I lead as President during 2017-2018.

This booklet, entitled “Vaccines: Essential Weapons in the Fight Against Disease,” was written for the lay public during a time of rising public opposition to vaccines.  The hope and belief is that if people are informed of the history of vaccination, they will be less skeptical.
