Summary: A great tool for parents in making their OWN decision about vaccines
Comment: This is perhaps the best gift you can give to a set of an expectant parents. Why? It will define vaccines, their implications so that parents can make their OWN CHOICE regarding vaccines.
What is not acceptable is to assume one size fits all children. Dr Bob Sears does an excellent job defining choice and information for families. Will the child be breastfed? go to preschool? will the family travel? what is the family health history? All important factors in making the decision about vaccine schedule for your child.
While I don't agree with all aspects of the book and its findings (which would be rare for me indeed) I do agree it is an excellent resource for families that are looking at 36 vaccines by age three for their baby. After reading this book, parents will know the right choice for their family.
Thanks Dr Bob!

Summary: The Vaccine book
Comment: This is an extremely informative book about each disease and the vaccine for it. If you are unsure about vaccinating your baby I would definitely recommend this book. Each disease is broken down so you can fully understand what the disease is, how serious it is, how it is transmitted and how common it is now. The vaccines are also broken down so you can read all the "stuff" they actually put in them. Dr. Sears also gives his own "alternative" vaccination schedule, although I think that should just be a suggestion and you as the parents or guardians should make that final decision on what vaccines you want your child to have, if any at all.

Summary: Wonderful Resource for Parents... and Pediatricians
Comment: As a fellow pediatrician, I frequently recommend Dr. Bob Sears' "The Vaccine Book" to families in my practice. It is one of the most balanced, clearly written guides to one of the hottest topics of our times. All new parents are looking for information about vaccines so they can make informed decisions about their babies' health, and Dr. Bob's book is top of the list. - Lawrence D. Rosen, MD FAAP (wholechildcenter.org)

Summary: Even-handed and easy to read
Comment: As a writer specializing in autism and developmental delays, I am frequently asked for advice about safe vaccination. I am so impressed I am with the job that Dr. Sears has done with this book. It is thoroughly researched and well-organized. Most importantly, it is easy to read.
I especially appreciate the fact that Dr. Sears kept his tone neutral throughout the book, making it possible for parents and professionals to make informed decisions without feeling alienated because of their beliefs. This is a book I will be recommending to those inside and outside of the autism community. I cannot think of a better gift for expecting parents.
Customer Rating:
Summary: overwhelming
Comment: Vaccines are such an issue these days. I loved that this book really talked about the pros and cons of each vaccine but it was a bit overwhelming. In the end I felt like I really didn't know what to do. I like the educational value of this book, but be prepared!
