This book deals with a vitally important,
and at times controversial, topic of Pediatric Immunization. The book
has dealt with all topics pertaining to immunization, from basic
sciences to newer vaccines in the pipeline and vaccination in special
situations. Authors have incorporated some features that make this book
stand out from the crowd. First, the authors have targeted the medical
community as well as the paramedical workers and parents and, therefore,
have deliberately kept the language simple and easy to understand. The
book also deals with practical considerations that make this book useful
particularly to a pediatric practitioner (e.g., handling a child
during vaccination, maintaining vaccination records, the issue of
suboptimal time periods between vaccines, interchangeability of brands
etc.). Lastly, almost every section offers guide to various resources
available on the net, pertinent to that topic, for detailed study. All
chapters are brief, clear and to-the-point. I recommend this book to all
postgraduate students, general practitioners and pediatricians to
supplement their knowledge and gain more clarity on this important
topic.
