Abstract:
Part 1 of this article, published last month, outlined the work of a University of Western Ontario committee in establishing criteria for the well child examination. This final section describes the committee's schedule for immunization, emphasizing that the schedule itself is far less important than the need to ensure completion of an immunization program. It also outlines the committee's findings on infant nutrition, with strategies for promotion of breast-feeding.
