The World Health Organization publishes a freely available and easily accessible Weekly Epidemiological Record (WER), and this web site has every issue, including records that date back to 1926. Readers may start anywhere, but one interesting plan of entry is to begin with the current issue, and work backwards. For instance, the November 21, 2014 issue (No. 47, 2014, 89, 517-528) includes reports on global routine vaccination coverage and progresses toward poliomyelitis eradication in Nigeria, while the June 18, 1996 issue covers a variety of topics, including antimicrobial resistance monitoring. Each issue is written in both English and French.
