Vaccines and vaccine safety are hot topics in the news these days (see the article on p160 of this issue, by Wilson and Marcuse). But where do you go to find up-to-date vaccine news and web resources?

The Vaccine Page is a regularly updated website that is partly supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Children's Vaccine Program. By clicking through to the news site, readers can access timely articles from various international news sources. But The Vaccine Page is more than just a news service. The site also provides an annotated database of vaccine resources on the web, assembled and checked by the editors of UniScience News Net. Vaccine resources are listed by country and by category, for ease of navigation. Category sections are handily organized into those directed at parents, researchers and medical practitioners, and there are also sections focusing on journal access and vaccine organizations.

The Vaccine Page is a member of the Allied Vaccine Group (AVG), which consists of websites “dedicated to presenting valid scientific information about the sometimes confusing subject of vaccines” and which clearly promotes the benefits of vaccination. AVG members believe that the benefits of immunization far outweigh the risks.The publishers of The Vaccine Page also maintain the website of the AVG, and The Vaccine Page uses the AVG search engine VACSearch PLUS, which returns results from the websites of all members of the AVG.

So, if you want to access vaccine news and links to web resources which are pro-vaccination, check out The Vaccine Page today.
