IAC'S E-LIBRARIES LINK YOU TO AN ABUNDANCE OF PRACTICAL, TOPICAL IMMUNIZATION RESOURCES

If you have access to the World Wide Web, you're just a few keystrokes away from the Immunization Action Coalition's three e-libraries of links to journal article abstracts and other immunization resources. In assembling the e-libraries, the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) finds and posts the latest immunization information available from medical and public health journals and the publications of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state health departments, and other reliable sources.

The three e-libraries are Diseases/Vaccines, Vaccine Safety, and Topics of Interest. All can be accessed from the IAC home page (http://www.immunize.org). For Diseases/Vaccines, scroll down the Index (left) column of the home page; for Vaccine Safety and Topics of Interest, scroll down the What's New (right) column.

Though IAC's e-libraries are not intended to take the place of a medical library, many health professionals have told us they find them valuable because they are convenient, cover a wide range of useful topics, and are kept up to date. Following are links for subtopics in each e-library.
