5 Resources for Pharmacists Are You Up To Date? Adult Immunization Record published by Immunize Canada found at: Immunize Canada website provides a variety of information regarding immunization. The goal of Immunize Canada is to contribute to the control/elimination/eradication of vaccine preventable diseases in Canada by increasing awareness of the benefits and risks of immunization for all ages via education, promotion, advocacy and media relations. Canadian Immunization Guide: Evergreen Ed. available at: Immunization Posters published by Immunize Canada found at: Immunizations Recommended for Travel Outside of Canada can be found at: International Travel and Health (2012). Geneva: World Health Organization This book explains how travellers can stay healthy and provides WHO guidance on vaccinations, malaria chemoprophylaxis and treatment, personal protection against insects and other disease vectors, and safety in different environmental settings. It describes all relevant infectious diseases, including their causative agents, modes of transmission, clinical features and geographical distribution, and provides details of prophylactic and preventive measures. This book can be downloaded from: MyHealthAlberta information about immunization for both patients and health professionals can be found at: (Accessed National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) is a national committee of recognized experts in the fields of pediatrics, infectious diseases, immunology, medical microbiology, internal medicine and public health.
