Vaccinating Your Child: Questions and Answers for the Concerned Parent

As a parent who suspects a vaccine might have played a role in my childs autism, I expected this book to be biased in favor of vaccines. It's not biased in either direction. It is the most objective vaccine book I have read. It gives factual information that parents need when making such an important descision in their childs health. Such as who should not receive this vaccine, side effects, etc. If you have an allergy to bakers yeast or egg whites you need to know this kind of information and this book is helpful. The only thing missing that you don't get from this book is any discussion of safer vaccine scheadules. That's okay, get this book for the facts. This would make a great baby shower gift too.

An extremely helpful book for new parents who are weighing the benefits and risks of vaccination. This book has been extremely helpful to me as a nurse, medical writer/editor, and mother of two young children. It's informative, balanced, well-written, and well-researched. After reading it from cover to cover, I still pull it off the shelf time and again, usually to answer questions for family and friends. I now buy this book for all the new moms I know. And a few dads, too.

As a new parent it was extemely helpful to read this book. The book clearly outlines why immunizations are an important part of a child's life. I liked the fact that it clearly and simply explains what each disease is that a vaccine can protect against. Descriptions are given about what happens to kids that are not properly immunized - the stories are horrible. I would never want my child to expereice such ills. I also liked the parts in the book that talk about saftey issues. As a new parent I want to do what is best for my child - not put her at risk. I strongly reccomend this book to new and expereinced parents alike.

Solid information with actual facts and figures. If you're a new parent, and scared by all the junk science being thrown around by homeopaths and anti-vaccinators, this book will help you get an informed picture of vaccination today.
