VACCINES 5TH ED. EXCELLENT by Robert E. Dedmon (NEENAH, WI United States)

Vaccines: Expert Consult (VACCINES (PLOTKIN/ORENSTEIN)) I had the opportunity to review 3 of the chapters online before getting my own copy, and I recommend it highly for medical school/hospital libraries, and for ID/public health workers who are involved in vaccine projects or research. For example chapter 17 on J-E vaccine is thoroughly researched and current, and it is great to have details of all vaccines types and where they are used in one easy-to retrieve resource. The online/Cd is also a bonus, adding great value to the book. R.E. DEDMON, MD MPH FACP
