The decision to publish the Guide reflected recent licensure of several vaccines targeted primarily for adults rather than children. It also marked a growing awareness of the shortcomings of physician efforts to adequately vaccinate their adult patients. During the next 4 years, 94 000 copies of the Guide were distributed to physicians, medical residents and students, and health-care institutions throughout the United States, Canada, and many other countries. The Guide is now recognized as a standard reference on adult immunization.Continued progress...References1. . Guide for Adult Immunization. Philadelphia: American College of Physicians; 1985.
