Vaccination has transformed the outlook for many previously lethal infectious diseases. It has, however, caused controversy since its beginnings, even when used for widely feared diseases such as smallpox. For many infectious diseases we do not have a vaccine, and may never get one.
Vaccination is increasingly being considered for cancers, including ones with no infectious trigger.
This lecture will consider several aspects of the science and public debate about vaccines.
