This book provides clinicians and their staff with essential information on the vaccines that
are recommended and not recommended for their patients the diseases these vaccines prevent
and a broad range of potential vaccine safety issues that may be brought up by their patients.
Each topic from specific vaccines to safety concerns is covered succinctly based upon
systematic reviews of the scientific literature with talking points to be used with patients.
The organization of the information makes it easy to reference specific topics and quickly find
pertinent information with the most practical details (such as recommendations and causality
conclusions) highlighted at the very beginning of the respective sections. There are also
sections outlining the vaccine safety system and evidence-based strategies for how to talk with
patients about vaccines. This book aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical
vaccine discussions with patients leading to more informed patients and timely vaccination.
This is an ideal resource for all clinicians administering vaccines and their healthcare teams.
