The first of its
kind, Vaccine-Preventable Disease: The Forgotten Story, was
written by our vaccine experts. This collection of profiles paints
a portrait of the impact of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Based upon the real-life stories in our
book, we've also developed a series of posters to help physicians
educate patients about 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.
The Center’s
website addresses all vaccines recommended for infants, adolescents and
adults, but for information on travel-related vaccines, visit the
following website:

You can also learn more about
seasonal and H1N1 influenza viruses
and the importance of vaccination on the Texas Children's web site.
