The <<>> publication, yellow fever, has won an award from the vaccines in the medical science category.
The award, presented today at the annual conference of the group’s Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division, is given “to acknowledge excellence in book, journal and electronic publishing in all the disciplines represented by professional, scholarly and reference publishing.”
The publication, edited by Dr. Ciro A. de Quadros, recounts the various ways vaccines have played a role in improving the health of the world’s populations, ranging from early efforts against yellow fever at the turn of the century to the eradication of smallpox and polio from the Americas to the challenges of vaccines for emerging and re-emerging diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and malaria.
