Dr. Robert Sears, author of The Vaccine Book, makes a compelling case for an alternative safer vaccine schedule for our children. The Vaccine Book is the first resource I’ve come across that is pro-vaccine, yet addresses the concept of a potentially "safer" alternative vaccine schedule for our children.
As a parent researching information on vaccines, I find the information available is often at opposite ends of the spectrum – either 100% pro-vaccine per the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule or 100% anti-vaccine from medical experts on the fringe. Classy Mommy thinks this book is a great pro-vaccine resource for parents today. According to Dr. Sears, his schedule basically gives 2 shots at a time and spreads shots out over the first few years of life instead of grouping all infant vaccines into the first 18 months of life.
As a Mom of a 2 year old and 3 month old, I loved this informative book. I found the writing style and research easy to digest. The Vaccine Book presents comprehensive research into the Product Inserts for each vaccine and also gives a breakdown of each vaccine by brand to show the differences in ingredients dependent upon the manufacturer of each shot. That info coupled with a discussion on what ingredients could be controversial enables parents to draw their own conclusions about each vaccine so they can make the best decision for their children.
