I express my sincere appreciation to SLMA’s Expert Committee on Communicable Diseases for this valuable output. Their sustained commitment to update our profession with a user-friendly compilation of time appropriate information on current immunization needs of our citizens is highly commendable. This practical guide has enjoyed a very high rating by local practitioners over sixteen successive years, indeed a very remarkable achievement for an entirely volunteer group of medical professionals. I thank Past President Dr. Lucian Jayasuriya for his unstinting commitment and coordination in ensuring this project to have such a successful continuity. I have observed with humility the diligent announcements and regular reminders of the numerous meetings of the highly capable editorial team. My heartfelt gratitude is extended to each and every author for his or her valuable time, excellent contribution and for maintaining the high standards. Sri Lanka has enjoyed the unique achievement of maintaining a continuum of a near universal coverage, at grass root level, of its national immunization programme. It is noteworthy that the national policy on immunization (NPI) aims at prioritizing vaccine preventable diseases. The past six decades have witnessed the successful implementation of the NPI, particularly in the fields of maternal and child health. More recently, the rapidly changing population dynamics, advances in immunology and temporal trends in the epidemiology of communicable diseases have led to the need for the development of newer vaccines. Hence the busy practitioner requires a parallel update on the long list of vaccines with their scientific basis and cost effectiveness. The Sri Lanka Medical Association is proud to have given the required leadership for this distinct need in developing and updating a comprehensive handbook on vaccines for the Sri Lankan medical profession.
