Mechanism edit
There is an over reliance on a single paper here, and while the general points being made may be correct for the most part, I would dispute that they are all absolutes. In particular arguing that immunity only lasts x years is a notoriously oversimplified statement to make with immunity often lasting a lifetime in some individuals and mere weeks in others (if immunity is gained at all). This over reliance is probably misleading when combined with such definitive statements.--Hontogaichiban (talk) 07:04, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Mention of specific vaccines by name edit
This article appears to shy away from naming any vaccines. This is not helpful.--Hontogaichiban (talk) 07:08, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Missing sections edit
