Mass immunization acts as a rapid-response strategy in vaccination, effectively protecting populations through high coverage and induced herd immunity. However, like military operations, these campaigns require careful planning and logistical execution. Poorly conducted efforts can lead to failure or unintended consequences. This volume features insights from leading practitioners in the field. David Heymann and Bruce Aylward from WHO provide a foundational overview of mass immunization, blending theory with practice. Michael Lane shares his experiences from the successful smallpox eradication campaign, highlighting the role of mass vaccination. John Grabenstein and Remington Nevin discuss the application of mass immunization within the US military, drawing from their extensive expertise. Karen Noakes and David Salisbury illustrate the notable successes of mass immunization in the UK. Charles Vitek details the global control of clostridia responsible for diphtheria toxin, while Francis André shows the significant decline of Hepatitis A due to large-scale vaccination efforts. The French experience with Hepatitis B vaccination, discussed by François Denis and Daniel Levy-Bruhl, presents a more complex picture. Lastly, Benjamin Schwartz and Pascale Wortley recount the intricacies of annual influenza vaccination campaigns.
