The Vaccine Guide: Risks and Benefits for Children and Adults Paperback – November 8, 2002

My pediatrician recommended this book to me. I have a scientific and pharmaceutical background and I thought this would be another one of those dumbed down books for parents who want a quick answer. Instead I found a fair review of vaccination, including the history and politics surrounding this controversial issue, and a detailed description of each vaccine and of possible adverse reactions. In my opinion this book is well-written and data is presented in intentionally fair manner. I also like that it is not just an examination of vaccination, but also a very practical guide for new parents like myself.If you're the type of person who likes to research the data and decide for yourself, you will thoroughly appreciate this book.

Was a little tough for me to read, just because of the nature of the content being somewhat detailed & trying to hold and weigh things that are new to me was challenging. The information was great though, and this became one of the trusted sources we used to make informed decisions regarding vaccines for our child.

Good book, but was looking more for a book with the pros and cons. Liked the Dr. Sears book on vaccines much better. This covers a little more internationally requirements than the Sears book, if you want to know what some of the other countries are doing on this topic.

Parents, please read this book before you have a child. It spells out the very real risks and benefits on all of the available vaccines. Nearly all are not worth the possible complications. Lifetime immunity from a shot is a myth. Vaccines come with a whole host of problems from unwanted virus present in vaccines, toxic amounts of chemicals used to make the vaccines, and auto-immune reactions in the brain leading to a whole host of chronic problems. I would put my faith in fostering health as the greatest thing anyone can do to avoid illness and stop the nonsense of injecting toxins into the body. I believe the human body is much more capable than we give it credit for.

This book is written by a doctor who has definitely done his research. He has so much information I just might have to read it twice. After my son had a vaccine reaction I had to get some good information. If you want to great well resourced book bout vaccines this is it!

Every parent ought to better inform themselves of the risks and benefits of vaccination before agreeing to this voluntary medical procedure. As the parent of a vaccine damaged child I only wish I had been more responsible in informing myself before making this decision for my son.

Paid full price for a new book, received a used book that smells bad. Returning.

Great guide to the considerate mind that wasnts to look at each vaccine individually instead of steadfastly hodling to one camp or the other.
