Product Description:
With the recent spate of publicity surrounding the possible health risks posed by childhood immunization, parents are no longer simply following doctor's orders and automatically having their children vaccinated. Instead, they are asking questions. The problem is the search for answers only leads parents to conflicting, one-sided information: doctors claim that parents are endangering their child's life if they refuse shots, while radical vaccine opponents claim parents are endangering their child's life if they accept shots. With THE VACCINE BOOK, parents finally have one, fair, impartial, fact-based resource they can turn to for answers. Each chapter will be devoted to a disease/vaccine pair and offer a comprehensive discussion of what the disease is, how common or rare it is, how serious or harmless it is, the ingredients of the vaccine, and any possible side effects from the vaccine. Ultimately, parents will have to make their own informed decisions as Dr. Bob Sears is neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine. But THE VACCINE BOOK will provide exactly the information parents want and need as they make their way through the vaccination maze.

This is perhaps the best gift you can give to a set of an expectant parents. Why? It will define vaccines, their implications so that parents can make their OWN CHOICE regarding vaccines.
What is not acceptable is to assume one size fits all children. Dr Bob Sears does an excellent job defining choice and information for families.

This is an extremely informative book about each disease and the vaccine for it. If you are unsure about vaccinating your baby I would definitely recommend this book. Each disease is broken down so you can fully understand what the disease is, how serious it is, how it is transmitted and how common it is now. The vaccines are also broken down so you can read all the "stuff" they actually put in them. Dr. Sears also gives his own "alternative" vaccination schedule, although I think that should just be ...

As a fellow pediatrician, I frequently recommend Dr. Bob Sears' "The Vaccine Book" to families in my practice. It is one of the most balanced, clearly written guides to one of the hottest topics of our times. All new parents are looking for information about vaccines so they can make informed decisions about their babies' health, and Dr. Bob's book is top of the list. - Lawrence D.

As a writer specializing in autism and developmental delays, I am frequently asked for advice about safe vaccination. I am so impressed I am with the job that Dr. Sears has done with this book. It is thoroughly researched and well-organized. Most importantly, it is easy to read.
I especially appreciate the fact that Dr. Sears kept his tone neutral throughout the book, making it possible for parents and professionals to make informed decisions without feeling alienated because of their beliefs. ... Read More

Vaccines are such an issue these days. I loved that this book really talked about the pros and cons of each vaccine but it was a bit overwhelming. In the end I felt like I really didn't know what to do. I like the educational value of this book, but be prepared!
