This working manual has been developed to ensure that all health professionals involved in immunization will be both knowledgeable about procedures and confident about their benefits. This new edition is fully updated and revised to take account of the latest changes in the field including recent public controversies. It shows the practitioner how to give vaccines safely and how to inform parents. In line with Immunization against Infectious Disease produced by the Department of Health the book is written in a practical and easily accessible form. It is essential reading for those 'in the field' who are directly responsible for giving immunizations - general practitioners health visitors school health nurses practice nurses clinical medical officers and district nurses. It is of use in training primary care staff medical students and to trainee paediatricians. Parents also will find Immunizing Children interesting and useful particularly the section on frequently asked questions.

Recenzje

'Barry Bub has a real gift for bringing encounters with patients and colleagues to life. He manages to make stories about people more telling and more educational than any pure theorist ever could. His ideas about identifying laments and how to respond to them are a powerful and original contribution to family medicine.' - Dr John Launer, Associate Director, London Department of Postgraduate GP Education.
