Book Reviews of The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library)
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great book. I started the research on vaccines late, my daughter have gotten 2 full rounds of shots already. As a new parent I had some concerns on this topic and although I did some research online, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information on pros and cons available online. I needed something that summarized everything, the pros and cons and let me make the decision. I thought that this is what this book did. It gave me enough info about each vaccine, what it was for, about the decease itself, how the vaccine is made, the pros and the cons, what is controversial about it etc. I feel that I have learned enough about it to make an informed decision. I think that all parents that have concerns about shots should read this book. It really has a lot of good information and it is not biased for or against vaccines. Book Review: Read this book!! Well-balanced with facts to make an educated decision about vaccinations
Summary: 5 Stars
I encourage every parent to read this book despite your stance on immunizations. Dr. Sears gives so much information about each vaccine and its components. He also gives facts about studies that have been conducted and talks about the lack of studies specifically about aluminum amounts in the immunizations. My daughter is 3 months old. I have decided to follow his Alternative Vaccination Schedule. After reading this book and other articles online, and talking with friends whose children had reactions to vaccinations, I feel that I should give my daughter vaccinations to protect her against diseases but that the combination shots are unnecessary and carry a higher risk of side-effects. I also believe that the standard Vaccination Schedule is too aggressive for such small little babies. I have Kaiser Permanente and most of the Pediatricians feel I should stick to the standard schedule, but it is my decision as a parent and I feel comfortable with my decision. Our doctors have always respected my wishes.Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very informative and and objective look at modern vaccines and whether or not they are necessary. A must read for those who are looking to be informed about their children's health.Book Review: Good objective information
Summary: 4 Stars
This book provided both sides of the story and was helpful objective information. We plan on using the alternate vaccination schedule that Dr. Sears illustrates with a few modifications of our own.Book Review: Great Book / Great Information
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this book was excellent. Sears does a good job of giving a wide range of opinions (even though he makes it clear what his opinion is and what he thinks the best choice is). Sears definitely made me feel better about vaccinating my son as per MA state's guidelines which don't leave a lot of room for flexibility.
