Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Sears, coauthor of several books in the Sears Parenting series, addresses one of today's most controversial and worrisome questions. Sears' goal is "to give you a balanced look at pros and cons of vaccination so that you can make an educated decision." Sears does not advocate for or rail against vaccination, stating it doesn't have to be an all or nothing decision-there are choices. The first 12 chapters discuss each vaccination in the childhood series, providing explanation of the relative disease, how the vaccine is made and points to assess a child's at-risk level when considering if the vaccine is necessary. Sears does offer guidance for those who are indecisive, offering his opinion based on clinical experience and 13 years of research taken from product inserts, pediatric reference books, articles and databases. Additional chapters illuminate more controversial aspects of the debate, such as how vaccine safety is researched and what the findings are, side effects and how to minimize them, common myths and questions. As always, Sears' tone puts readers at ease as he clearly explains medical terms and elucidates debates.

A great guide to a difficult topic,
By
This review is from: The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Paperback)
The internet, media and doctors have made the topic of vaccines very confusing and to many very scarry but I believe that this book has helped me understand the issues and make informed choices. I know a lot of people who are refusing all vaccines because Doctors won't give them enough information but now I believe that I can protect my child from disease and possible vaccine side effects.

Well-rounded opinions,
By Stephanie "Thoughtful Parent" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Paperback)
It is so nice to find a book on vaccination that balances both sides of the argument. It seems that everything is either absolutely no (from the natural community) to vaccinations or absolutely yes (from the medical community). Being in Canada makes some of the vaccinations a bit different from what he reviews for the U.S. but I think it is comprehensive enough to make decisions from regardless. After getting Guillain Barre Syndrome myself following the H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccinations it was so important for me to do some research and make decisions that I could live with for my children. This book has helped me understand the risks of specific diseases and the risks of the vaccines themselves.

The best vaccine book you can get,
By Lexicat (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Paperback)
This is the only vaccine book I have seen that gives an unbiased (mostly) account of all the things you need to make the difficult decision of whether to vaccinate. I've read it several times and check it regularly. It's written by a doctor who believes in a parents right to choose for their child. I'm so glad I found this book because other books were either entirely for or against. This book allows me to decide for myself.
