Science of vaccinology is advancing rapidly and naturally raising a lot of controversies. Editors collected a large number of queries on various aspects of immunization and then elicited the answers from about 30 experts in this field from India and abroad. The monograph, divided in 23 chapters, is a unique attempt to compile all the information and present in question-answer format. Various immunization schedules provided in the book are additional features. The book is very handy and the hard work undergone in the preparation of the book would be of immense benefit to pediatricians both in academic and practicing fields. Panna Choudhury, |
