"This book helps support all communities in understanding personal responsibilities to being vaccinated. It starts by using multicultural pictures and words to describe a virus/bacteria and carries the reader through explaining the process of vaccinations. This book is a great learning resource to help increase medical knowledge and decrease fear in all communities during a public health crisis."

J. Basini, MPH., Health Education Teacher

"Vaccines Explained is a richly-illustrated and thoughtfully written book, ideal for explaining the concept of vaccines and germs for preschoolers through the early elementary grades. The book gives parents and teachers many opportunities for conversations about how vaccines work against a variety of germs, and why vaccines are nothing to fear. The illustrations give plenty of opportunities to discuss what doctors, pharmacists, and scientists do, and how vaccines have helped people of all ages, all over the world. I recommend this timely book as an inspiration for family and classroom conversations."
