A Vaccine Is Like A Memory

This timely book details the importance of vaccines and how they were developed throughout history, as well as how they work to protect your body and keep it healthy.

Do you remember every time you’ve been sick?

You may not, but your body does! With many illnesses, you can’t get sick more than once because your body remembers and fights it off before you get sick again. But what if your body could recognize germs that you’ve never had before so you don’t get ill? There’s where vaccines come in! This book comes complete with extensive back matter all about types of germs and vaccines.

“[LaRocca] clearly knows her subject here,
and she explains it in a straightforward, reassuring manner. A lively, informative introduction to vaccines.”

★Booklist, Starred Review

“In simple but not simplistic terms, LaRocca explains how vaccines work with the immune system to minimize the effects of certain diseases . . . Authoritative and reassuring.”

— Kirkus Reviews

“Authoritative and approachable, these pages work hard to supply a measure of calm and common sense to readers.”

— Publishers Weekly
