Parents PACK
Parents PACK — Possessing, Accessing and Communicating Knowledge about vaccines — was established by the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to develop a dialogue with families about vaccines, provide vaccine information more regularly than doctor visits, and establish a place to easily get up-to-date information and answers to vaccine questions.
