Behind each person who has contracted a vaccine-preventable disease is the story of a life interrupted, of a family devastated. Vaccine-Preventable Disease: The Forgotten Story profiles families who have suffered the true cost of not vaccinating.

The following stories are featured in full-length in Vaccine-Preventable Disease: The Forgotten Story, along with those of other affected families. These stories carry caution — but they are also full of hope for a better future. We can prevent these diseases with safe and easy immunizations and move toward a healthier world for ourselves and our children. Read more about the book.
