It probably will be, and I hope I haven't wasted your money. But it is such a widespread book that I think you at least need it in your library.
Most of the book is discussion of specific infectious diseases. But if you find the part on vaccination, you will find schedules for catch-up immunization etc, which is where the whole process gets a little confusing. Let me know when you get the book, and I can help you find the info you need in it..... Actually I don't have the latest edition and need to order it. Kevin --- "Nancy E.
