From the publishers of Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, this new book dispels parent confusion and misinformation on childhood infectious diseases and immunizations. It offers an up-to-date, authoritative voice, which is based on scientific research of the American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book on Infectious Diseases. Available in Spring 2005, it will soon be "The authoritative guide to everything parents want to know about childhood diseases and immunizations."
