The development of immunization 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 immunization procedures not only in the UK and
USA but also in other countries, and to this end a special chapter
on immunization 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. In each of these chapters, a short discussion of the
epidemiology of the disease and the history of immunization against
it is followed by a description of the vaccine, its efficacy,
contraindications to its use and future developments. These are
followed by four general chapters on vaccines for travel, vaccines
for selective use, passive immunization and immunization in
tropical environments and the book concludes with a chapter on the
smallpox vaccination and one on new vaccines. The demand for this
book follows the popularity of a series of articles on immunization
which appeared in Update. These have been expanded and largely
rewritten. I have drawn on many expert sources and have made an
effort to provide a balanced and non-controversial opinion with a
discussion of alternative procedures where indicated.
