A tome, but it reads like a Tom Clancy novel once you get past the endless discussion of the early history of smallpox. Skip ahead to about 1900, and learn about vaccine development, the triumphs and disasters of vaccination programs, the current controversies over autism.

I just read this book at your recommendation. I didn't mind the early history of smallpox. And I liked learning more about the autism non-link.
I previously read a book "Patenting the Sun" about the polio vaccine, but that's more of the science history that you didn't like as much.
