4-Star Review
“This is a colorful, well-presented, educational collection of charts about vaccines for patients, parents, and healthcare professionals. I think it is a valuable resource for discussions about vaccines and would recommend that it be available in the clinic, office, or pediatric floor where vaccines are discussed and administered. “
