AB Vaccines  are  among  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  are  so  effective,  many  parents  and  younger  physicians  have  little  firsthand  experience  with  the  infectious  diseases  that  they  prevent.  In  this  context,  attention  has  shifted  from  concerns  of  vaccine-preventable  diseases  to  concerns  of  vaccine  safety,  both  perceived  and  real.
