EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CONTROL OF THE VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES: REVIEW ARTICLES
Nairobi, 1 January 2014
Dear All,
Thanks to my readers who, registering 4000 page views on the last day of 2013, pushed the cumulative hits for this website over 1.1 million in the last hours of the old year.
The new year of 2014 starts with a series of review articles on the epidemiology and control of the original six EPI target diseases: diphtheria, measles, pertussis, polio, tetanus and TB. If these items garner enough hits, I will follow up with a series on diseases preventable by the new and under-used vaccines.
I am also including references to the relevant W.H.O. position papers on the respective vaccines, which include discussions on epidemiology and vaccination impact.
Good reading.
