Vaccine-Preventable Disease: The Forgotten Story updated
edition
Vaccine-Preventable Disease: The Forgotten Story updated edition, was written
by our vaccine experts and includes
5 new stories that profile families who have dealt with the effects
of vaccine-preventable diseases including H1N1 influenza and meningitis.
An abridged version is now available in Spanish, allowing us
to reach even more families with the powerful message about vaccine-preventable
disease.
Based upon the real-life stories
in our book, we've also developed a series of posters to help physicians
educate patientsabout vaccine-preventable diseases.
The Center for Vaccine Awareness and Research provides a valuable resource for understanding
the increasingly complex issues of vaccination. It draws upon the expertise of specialists who combine expanded knowledge of approved
vaccines with in-depth understanding of infectious diseases, primary care and adolescent
medicine.
And we are working toward better solutions for tomorrow. The
center's physicians receive funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and other nonprofit organizations to study delivery and effectiveness of vaccines.
Many of these studies will serve as national models for vaccine delivery.
The Center is one of only two
programs in the United States currently conducting
National Institutes of Health-funded research on vaccines for pregnant women.
