| Abstract
|
:
|
The development of immunisation has been one of the most striking features in the control of infectious disease in the twentieth century. This book takes into account the need for a simple, concise account of immunisation procedures not only in the UK and USA but also in other countries, and to this end a special chapter on immunisation in developing countries has been included. Following two introductory chapters, there are nine chapters on various diseases and the vaccines that have been developed to combat them. The book concludes with four general chapters on vaccines for travel, vaccines for selective use, passive immunisation and immunisation in tropical environments. Immunisation is intended not only for the family practitioner but also for many specialists, particularly pediatricians, community physicians, Armed Forces medical doctors, and all those concerned with immigration procedures and with the spread of infectious diseases. Medical students, nurses and paramedical staff will also find much of value. - Preface.
