PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Family Medicine, 4e AB - Routine vaccination during childhood is among the most significant of all medical advances. Although many vaccine preventable diseases such as Haemophilus influenza b infection are now rarely encountered, others such as pertussis persist despite widespread vaccination. Concerns about vaccine efficacy, safety, and duration of protection continue to interfere with universal acceptance of some vaccines such as mumps-measles-rubella (MMR) vaccine despite demonstrated effectiveness. Important concerns about vaccination include the child’s age and underlying medical conditions, disease burden, vaccine efficacy and adverse reactions, and official recommendations.
