TPB is the next best thing to having a personal vaccine expert on speed dial. . . or in the office next door. I have both, but I still use TPB on a regular basis (there’s also a copy in our clinic and one in the fellow’s welcome packet).” – Kris A. Bryant, MD President Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society The Reviews: The Vaccine Handbook is a wonderful, thorough collection of valuable information for all clinicians who vaccinate children. A must have reference book for every office. – Paul A. Offit, MD Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology and Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine This book gives clinicians a well-organized and efficient one-stop source for information on immunizations and vaccine preventable diseases. – Kevin J. Downes, MD Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center During my more than 20 years in the field of immunization education, I have not seen another book that is so brimming with state-of-the-science information. – Deborah L. Wexler, MD Executive Director, Immunization Action Coalition
Perfect
It’s free and covers all the vaccination aspects.
Fantastic POC Resource
This is a great resource to read as a reference, guide patient discussions and to use while seeing patients. This is the book that sparked my interest in vaccines!
Incorrect info
Excellent resource on vaccination. However, the table hyperlink for RV goes to rabies vaccination. It should go to rotavirus vaccine information.
Indispensable
The Vaccine Handbook is the first & best truly comprehensive resource that brings together all the important information a provider needs - all in one place! It is easy to use to find answers to important questions - and easy to read. Even for an experienced clinician, I continually find great gems of knowledge & answers to questions. Most important, the information is really practical and useful. I think every practice should have a copy, sitting right next to the Red Book, as the key resources!
Thank you!
Just got this but wanted to say Thank You!!!! Thank you for making this to have an easy place for the data in one place!
Technical info for clinical workers
Great resource! Very important to note this is designed for use by physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other medical staff who have had schooling in the topics of chemistry, physiology, and immunology; not intended for use by Karens who already have been enlightened by Facebook mom groups.
Great app for medical professionals
Great app for medical professionals to use for reference. Very up to date and easy to use.
