Reviewers could mention the ease of program in-stallation and the availability of on-line help or a toll-free help line. They could give an opinion on the advan-tages and disadvantages of using the electronic approachversus accessing the information more traditionally. Fi-nally, they should note subscription updates for the pro-gram and associated costs.

Conclusion

Reviews of books and other media contributegreatly to the journal's readership. Physicians cannotpossibly read and see all that they might want to. Fur-thermore, those in practice are frequently asked for moreinformation on certain health topics or an opinion ongeneral-interest medical books their patients have read.On the basis of CMAJ reviews physicians can give in-formed opinions on books and other media that theymight never have time to analyse and can diversify theways they educate their patients.

Our goal in updating these instructions is to fosterthe writing of reviews that are engaging, comprehensiveand succinct. We do not want to suppress the creativityof potential reviewers; indeed, the organization of a re-view need not follow the sequence we have outlined,and we invite reviewers to make additional observations.We do, however, entreat all of our reviewers to be fairand accurate.

We thank all the people who, on their own time andeffort, have written reviews that help keep CMAJ readersabreast of the current literature and other media.

Conclusion

Les recensions de livres et autres documents con-tribuent enormement 'a accroltre l'effectif-lecteurs dujournal. I1 est impossible pour les merdecins de lire et devoir tout ce qui peut les interesser. En outre, on demandesouvent aux praticiens plus de renseignements sur cer-tains sujets de la sante ou un avis sur des ouvrages medi-caux d'interet general que leurs patients ont lus. Ens'appuyant sur les recensions du JAMC, les medecinspeuvent donner un avis eclaire sur les livres et les autresdocuments qu'ils n'ont pas eu le temps d'analyser et

peuvent utiliser diverses faqons d'eduquer leurs patients.En mettant 'a jour ces instructions, nous voulons fa-

voriser la presentation de recensions interessantes, com-pletes et succinctes. Nous ne voulons pas etouffer lacreativite des evaluateurs eventuels: en fait, il n'est pasobligatoire que la structure d'une recension suive l'ordreque nous avons etabli et nous invitons les evaluateurs anous pr6senter des observations supplementaires. Nousexhortons toutefois tous nos evaluateurs 'a etre justes etprecis.

Nous remercions tous les gens qui n'ont pas me-nage leur temps ni leurs efforts pour presenter des recen-sions qui tiennent les lecteurs du JAMC au courant desnouvelles parutions.

Va accines work. But incorporating more vaccinesinto our routine schedules inevitably means

more complex schedules and increased use ofcombination products. Thus, those who administer vac-

cines face the challenge of keeping up with the changesto ensure both the safety and efficacy of increasingnumbers of vaccines.

This fourth edition of the Canadian ImmunizationGuide contains numerous changes to the third edition, in-cluding many new products and strategies for familiarproducts. In response to a recent readership survey by theLaboratory Centre for Disease Control (LCDC), HealthCanada has incorporated many suggestions, such as

adding a comprehensive index and references.The Guide is intended to help Canadian phys-

icians and nurses stay abreast of current developmentsin the field. The accelerating pace of vaccine research istremendously exciting; however, advances in vaccinetechnology and development will have little impact ifvaccine doses are not delivered effectively to Canadianchildren and adults.

The Canadian Immunization Guide is publishedevery 4 years. New or revised statements by the NationalAdvisory Committee on Immunization on licensed vac-

cines are published in the Canada Communicable DiseaseReport (CCDR. For copies of these statements subscribeto CCDR or request them via the LCDC FAAink ser-

vice. To subscribe to CCDR, contact the Canada Com-munication Group Publishing, Ottawa, ON KlA0S9; (819) 956-4802; fax (819) 994-1498. To access theFAXlink service, dial (613) 941-3900 from any faxmachine and request the desired issue.

The National Advisory Committee on Immuniza-tion prepared the text for this Guide, which is publishedby the authority of the Minister of Health Canada. Thisedition was produced in collaboration with the CMA.

L es vaccins donnent des resultats, mais l'ajout d'autresvaccins rendra inevitablement nos tableaux desmedicaments de routine plus complexes; on utilisera

de plus en plus de produits combines. Ceux qui admi-nistrent les vaccins doivent relever le defi qui consiste 'asuivre l'evolution du contexte pour assurer la securite et

l'efficacite de vaccins de plus en plus nombreux.Cette quatrieme edition du Guide canadien d'immuni-

sation contient de nombreux changements, y compris un

grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de strategies relativesa des produits connus. A la suite d'un sondage effectue aupresde ses lecteurs par le LIboratoire de lutte contre la maladie(LLCM), Sante Canada a essaye d'y integrer de nombreusessuggestions, notamment un index dtaillk et des references.

Le Guide vise a aider les medecins et les inflrmieres duCanada a suivre l'evolution du domaine. La recherche sur

les vaccins procede "a un rythme de plus en plus rapide, ce

qui est tres excitant. Or, les progres de la technologie et de lamise au point des vaccins auront peu d'effet si les doses ne

sont pas administrees efficacement aux enfants et aux

adultes du Canada.Le Guide canadien d'immunisation parait aux 4 ans.

Les enonces nouveaux ou revises du Comite consultatif na-tional de l'immunisation au sujet des vaccins autorises sont

publies dans le Relevd des maladies transmissibles au Canada(RMTC).
