    Author: Paulson PR, Hammer AL.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 2002; 28(2):173-81. PubMed ID: 11962186.
    Abstract:
    The field of pediatric immunizations is growing and changing as new vaccines are becoming available and previous diseases are being eradicated. Due to the complexity and evolution of vaccine-preventable diseases, pediatric health care providers must routinely review the current childhood immunization recommendations. A review of immunology and the principles of vaccination provide background knowledge for information pertaining to disease transmission and the current recommended vaccine schedule. Vaccine administration guidelines and techniques are presented in table format. An overview of new vaccine research and development and a discussion of vaccine safety and immunization resources are also included.
