• Resumen

  • Some vaccines seem to provide people with a host of extra benefits. There's a growing evidence that vaccines have a wider-ranging influence on the immune system than they thought. In the West, where it's far less common for children to die from infectious illnesses, there are still surprising benefits: some vaccines seem to reduce their susceptibility to eczema and asthma. Here, Brooks sees the cornerstone of modern medicine in a new light.
