Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: overwhelming Comment: 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! Customer Rating: Summary: I WISH I HAD GOTTEN IT SOONER! Comment: I got this book after my cousins child had a bad reaction to a vaccine. This book is easy to understand. It's set up so you don't have to read it cover to cover, but can read the sections that partain to you. Perfect for parents who are middle-of-the-road, want to vaccinate their children, but also want to be selective. Customer Rating: Summary: Very informative, well written and organized book Comment: This book is very well laid out and informative. It is not biased either pro or con vaccines; it is just an information source. If you want to learn about what vaccines are out there, what is in them, what the diseases are, etc. then this is the book for you. Customer Rating: Summary: great book! Comment: This book is great! It's very informative- discussing each disease, the incidence, what's in the vaccines and side effects. It's also very funny! That's an accomplishment given the subject matter! Dr. Bob gives the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule, and alternate schedules- one with all the vaccines spaced out and one with "core" vaccines. I found it very helpful- definitely recommend it, and already have to everyone I know with a baby or a baby on the way. Customer Rating: Summary: Very helpful and neutral Comment: This book really helped us decide what to do for vaccines. It lists ingredients, and it gives arguments for both sides without telling you which way you should lean. Also suggests an alternative schedule which was really nice. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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.
