title: Immunization: a 1991 update. Part II.
abstract: Immunization is an important and changing area in pediatric practice. The school nurse plays a pivotal role in the ascertainment of appropriate immunization status for school children. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Disease has made a number of recent substantive changes in immunization requirements for both preschool and school-age children. This article will review the salient features of those changes, especially those related to school nursing practice.
