Travel & Routine Immunizations
A Practical Guide for the Medical Office
Published annually since 1992, this clinical guide keeps you current with immunization guidelines for travelers and non-travelers alike. Included are recommendations from the ACIP, AAP, and CDC, as well as Shoreland vaccine recommendations, which focus primarily on the risk to the individual traveler and reflect a synthesis and reconciliation of available advice from CDC, ACIP, AAP, and WHO, as well as ongoing global surveillance and the published literature. This guide also includes general information on immunization practices and upcoming vaccines, as well as practical information on traveler preparation acquired by Richard F. Thompson, MD (Editor), during his more than 25 years of practice in both military and private travel clinic settings.

"This book, which happens to be blue, has a place on the immunization provider's shelf along with the yellow, red and green books. You may eventually find, as I did, that the blue book is the first one you pull out when questions arise."
L. Jeannine Petry, MD, The Journal of Family Practice, November 1995, pg. 507 "Even routine immunizations of children and adults are changing rapidly enough to make this an essential reference in a physician's office...Altogether, the Guide is a much more comprehensive set of information about vaccines than can be found in other publications...I highly recommend it for every physician's office where vaccines are administered." William A. Petri, Jr., Parasitology Today, July 1997, pp. 277-278 |
