The primary care physician has few tools as effective as immunization. Patients deserve to be advised about prophylaxis and appropriately treated when the need arises. Monitoring of the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) is the most efficient manner of keeping current. The Journal of the American Medical Association usually quotes the important advances from the MMWR. The local health department is generally helpful in covering local crises or giving travel advice.
