Excellent book on relevant up to date reviews.However information is lacking in which vaccines should not be given at the same time on a single visit and the intervals of such vaccinations should be spaced apart . Reasons for such recommendations could preferably be discussed.

Helpful resource for the everchanging medical world. I agree with the other reviews that there could be more on vaccines which is an especially hot topic. But a great book nonetheless.

Well written and organized for easy use.

A Pediatric must!

Great book...
