The reader will observe that in describing Greece, I have devoted myself to the physical aspects of the coun- try, and the character and habits of its present popula- tion, rather than to its past history and classic associa- tions. If, therefore, there are no new pictures in this volume, there may be, at least, some old and familiar subjects exhibited under new atmospheric effects. I should otherwise have hesitated to select a field which may be considered well-nigh exhausted, were it not that the country is still in a transition state, and every few years presents a new phase to the traveller's eye.

Doctor, Pathologist, Manager of Health Center at Stylida Abstract Background: Infectious diseases are a major Public Health problem and they are identified as one of the most important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate children and adolescence immunization, according to their Personal Health Card (PHC). Method and material: The sample studied consisted of 493 students of Elementary Gymnasium and Lyceum schools at Stylida of Fthiotida Municipality. Data were recorded in a specially designed form for the needs of the study, which included demographic and clinical variables as well as the vaccination coverage. Additionally, a thorough physical examination was conducted. Statistic analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 13 and the statistical method was x2-test.
