vaccinations through research, education and advocacy;

The Center for Vaccine Awareness and
Research provides a valuable resource for understanding the
increasingly complex issues of vaccination. It draws upon the
expertise of specialists who combine
expanded knowledge of approved vaccines with in-depth understanding
of infectious diseases, primary care and adolescent medicine.
And we are working toward better solutions
for tomorrow. The center's physicians receive funding from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other organizations
to study delivery and effectiveness of vaccines. Many of these
studies will serve as national models for vaccine delivery.
The center is one of only two programs in the United States currently conducting
National
Institutes of Health-funded research
on vaccines for pregnant women.
