Product Overview
The Vaccine Book is one book in the Sears Parenting series and is written by Dr. Robert Sears. Dr. Sears presents an evenhanded view and comprehensive information on all vaccines recommended by the American Pediatrics Association. The information presented in the book includes ingredients of each of the vaccines, including any controversial ingredients, how the vaccine is made, and information about the relative diseases. Dr. Sears does offer some suggestions to undecided parents about necessary vaccines including an alternative vaccination schedule. Dr. Sears is a pediatrician who spent 13 years researching before he published this book. He also has a website where he posts any new information he finds regarding the vaccines.

Why I Like It
There has been much controversy around some of the childhood vaccines and with celebrities constantly talking about their issues with the vaccines it’s hard to ignore these concerns. I needed balanced information about all the vaccines from a credible source. Drug companies and even the government’s department of health would not provide a balanced view of the vaccines. Other books on the subject were a little too biased, so I turned to The Vaccine Book.

I was one of those undecided parents, not knowing whether to skip vaccines, get them all or skip them all. Dr. Sears presents information from both sides of the spectrum which helped guide me to make my own decision regarding each vaccine.

I also liked that he shares his alternative vaccination schedule and outlines all the reasons why he suggests giving each vaccine at a specific age. This made it easier to know how to schedule the vaccines for my daughter.

I have also been able to use some of the information presented in the book to ask my pediatrician relevant questions regarding the vaccines from which I’m able to receive more informative answers.
