TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 3. Vaccines and Vaccine Safety A1 - Smith, Michael J. A2 - Shah, Samir S. PY - 2009 T2 - Pediatric Practice: Infectious Disease AB - Vaccines represent one of the most successful public health interventions of all time. Diseases that once killed thousands of children each year have been virtually eliminated from the United States (Table 3–1). Because vaccines have been so effective, many parents and younger physicians have little firsthand experience with the infectious diseases they prevent. In this context, attention has shifted away from concerns of vaccine-preventable diseases themselves toward concerns of vaccine safety, both perceived and real.
