A closer look at adult immunization in the United States

Article Abstract:

It is not immediately possible for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to shift its priorities from child to adult immunization. The CDC has estimated that $34 million to $80 million in expenditures are needed for a comprehensive adult immunization program. Such a large amount cannot be taken from the National Immunization Program's childhood immunization activities since it could lead to higher rates of childhood disease. The National Vaccine Advisory Committee, in cooperation with various private and public health entities, has drawn up several strategies for coming up with a more comprehensive adult immunization program.

Listen to the children: the decision to transfer juveniles to adult court

Article Abstract:

Judicial review should be the only way in which the decision to try a juvenile as an adult can be made, as it is in keeping with juvenile justices basic tenet, seeing the person as an individual. Neither prosecutorial discretion or statutory exclusion are true to this tenet. Many juveniles can be rehabilitate, and only if treated as individuals will the ones who can be saved get the chance.
