title: Immunizations for women and infants.
abstract: The use of vaccines has been instrumental in reducing the incidence and severity of many different diseases. The Healthy People 2000 program lists improving immunization rates as one of its top goals. However, the national immunization rate falls far below the national goal. As health care providers, it is important to understand the age-specific immunization recommendations and contraindications.
