Today the Public Health Foundation (PHF) launched the Immunization ID Contest.  This contest provides an opportunity to win a box of 16 copies of Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (“The Pink Book”), 12th Edition. 

The contest is designed to encourage public health professionals to learn about the history of immunology and its major contributors.  The immunization recommendations and strategies in the Pink Book are based on findings that date back centuries and have been revised for today’s use among children, adults, and target populations. Current vaccine schedules and updated principles of vaccination are included in every edition of this comprehensive text.
