TY - GEN T1 - Making gender : big pharma, HPV vaccine policy, and women's ontological decision-making A1 - Wyndham-West, Michelle LA - English PP - Toronto ; Buffalo PB - University of Toronto Press YR - 2023 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_on1374253227 AB - "Making Gender endeavours to understand how the HPV vaccine became gendered within the Canadian policy landscape--when the virus is gender blind and is linked to cancer in all genders--and how women's experiences with this "gendered risk" have been folded into their vaccine decision-making. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research, Michelle Wyndham-West explores the creation and circulation of gendered risk as it was deployed in pharmaceutical and policy discourses surrounding the rollout of the HPV vaccine. The book contextualizes the background for how gendered risk was mediated by two groups of women: mothers negotiating the vaccine for their daughters in school-based immunization programs and university students who experienced frequent HPV infections. The book explores these women's efforts to be good mothers and strong young women entering adulthood who felt vulnerable in sexual health negotiation. As a result, Making Gender reveals how vaccine decision-making took an ontological form, as an inherently social and cultural process embedded in women's experiences."-- OP - 164 CN - QR189.5.P36 W96 2023 SN - 9781487539900 SN - 1487539908 SN - 1487539894 SN - 9781487539894 SN - 9781487509200 SN - 1487509200 KW - Papillomavirus vaccines : Canada.
