Partha's Immunization Digest


Book Description

Advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering are revitalizing the concept of immunization. Novel vaccine delivery systems have been developed. Auto-destruct/self-locking syringes have promoted the “Needle smart” message. Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) on immunization for doctors and parents have been enriched through continuing medical education (CME) of vaccine updates and parent health education, and through the vigorous media advertisements of the vaccine manufactures. Due to these awareness campaigns, demand generation has increased. Newer vaccines are being licensed in India, after their efficacies have been established at the global level. In addition to the vaccines administered in the National Immunization Schedule, it has become necessary to recommend additional vaccines at different age groups. Apart from newborn, infant and childhood immunization practices, immunization of adolescents has also become a campaign by itself. In this manual, attempt has been made to present a ‘state-of-art’ information concerning issues related to vaccines and immunization. Existing ‘state-of-art’ tables and text of international and national authors have been included with necessary modifications with due acknowledgment
