| Description: |
|
| The Vaccine Handbook: A Practical Guide for Clinicians ("The Purple Book") is considered a vital source of practical, up-to-date information for vaccine providers and educators. The driving purpose behind the book is to draw together the latest vaccine science and guidance into a concise, user-friendly, practical resource that can be used in either the classroom or the clinical setting. Though it is replete with scientific background and references, the language in the handbook is accessible. It is complete in terms of authoritative recommendations, and includes information on such things as how vaccines are developed, tested, and licensed; how vaccine policy is made; what constitutes the vaccine safety net; the legal obligations binding on vaccine providers; billing; and office logistics.
