The PhD thesis ties together a number of complementary studies in special risk groups including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multi- faceted reviews of current immunisation status and physician recommendations.<\/li>\n<li>Novel vaccine immunogenicity studies of (4v) HPV vaccine and (10v) pneumococcal conjugate vaccine<\/li>\n<li>Randomised controlled trial utilising a postcard immunisation reminder in hospital outpatients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The challenge is to use the available scientific evidence and translate it into helping clinicians optimise protection from VPD in their patients.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Nigel Crawford is a general paediatrician working in General Medicine \/ SAEFVIC at the Royal Children\u2019s Hospital \/ Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
