Average Ratings:

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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great informational book; quick shipment
Comment: I originally checked this book out at the library but felt I needed to own this one. It is a great directory of how each vaccine is made and how it may affect your child. Dr. Sears is not anti-vaccine, he is simply stating the affects it may have on your child. We use the book to become educated on each individual vaccine so we can talk with the pediatrician more knowledgeably.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book -- really helped us make an informed decision
Comment: This is probably the most "balanced" book on vaccines available. Dr. Sears is definitely not anti-vaccine, yet he also confirms that not all of the fears surrounding vaccines are unfounded. The book address each vaccine/disease in detail, including a full list of ingredients and their possible side effects, how serious the disease is and whether/how it's treatable, and reasons for and against getting the vaccine. He offers his professional opinion on the importance of each vaccine and whether benefits outweigh risks (and vice versa). He also addresses common concerns regarding aluminum in vaccines, vaccine safety testing, etc. The book is easy to read, sometimes witty, and very well organized so that you can find the specific information you want easily. Above all, Sears makes it clear that his goal is to educate, not persuade. He lays out the facts as he sees them and allows the reader to make his/her own judgments. While Sears's book is not my only source of information, it is one of the most useful.

Summary: great book
Comment: I haven't had much time to read the book yet, but from what I have looked at so far, it seems very good with lots of helpful, non biased information.

Customer Rating:
Summary: What a wonderful book...
Comment: Dr. Sears' book is a great book for any parent who is concerned in any respect about vaccines or just has questions about them. He goes into detail about each of the 30+ shots your child is scheduled to receive as a newborn/toddler.

He also addresses the autism/MMR controversy, the thimerosal/mercury issues, and addresses aluminum in vaccines (something our Ped didn't even know, when we asked her "How much aluminum is in these shots?") and recommends caution given that no one has studied the effects of injected aluminum into infants.

He includes 2 "alternative" vaccine schedules for any parent concerned. He also takes Ped MD's to task for kicking patients out of their practices (like ours did) when a parent won't slavishly adhere to the American Academy of Ped's vaccine schedule.

This book was worth every penny we paid. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Customer Rating:
Summary: PLEASE read this book!
Comment: You love your child, you care for them, you only what what is best...but does the medical profession? They are looking for profit not love.
