Editorial Reviews:

When vaccines first became available, they were considered a godsend-parents suddenly had a way to keep their children safe from devestating diseases like small pox and polio. Today, however, we may be over-vaccinating our children-sometimes with alarming repercussions. Every year some children suffer consequences as a result of vaccinations, and one school of thought believes that the vaccine used to prevent measles, mumps and rubella may be related to the rapid rise in autism (up 300% in the past 10 years). While most doctors continue to routinely recommend vaccinations, parents have good reasons to be concerned about rare but potentially associated consequences. In this book Dr. Stephanie Cave explains vaccinations-the pros and the cons. With detailed facts about each vaccination, as well as regulations and laws, this book provides easily understandable information to help parents make a knowledgeable, responsible choice about vaccinating their children.

Summary: Creating fear
Comment: I just had to console a mom in tears because of this book. She knows her child should get vaccines, and is at real risk without them, but is so fearful about getting vaccines. This book does a great job...of seeming to be researched and referenced, but the data does not support the assertions made of the risks of vaccines.
Great for conspiracy theorists, people looking to assign blame, and doctors who want to make money selling their book. Really unconscionable!

Summary: Out of Date
Comment: This book is so out of date that I don't think any pediatricians use the vaccines or techniques ( such as stacking vaccines) they warn you about. All this book did was scare me. I did learn a few things about vaccines and were to get the latest information. Overall not worth the time and the scare.

Summary: Okay
Comment: This book is a little out dated. New information and new vaccines are out and being given since this book has been out. Overall, this book is okay. I think it needs to be updated.

Summary: I wish I had known this book existed before I made the mistake of vaccianting my boys
Comment: This is an EXCELLENT book. My son was a perfectly NORMAL, beautiful little boy until he received his MMR vaccine. Within 24 hours he had all the hallmark symptoms of autism. He and his little brother are close in age, so my younger son received vaccines for the first 6 months of his life. The result? AUTISM AND PDD-NOS!!! If I had read this book, my boys, myself, and the rest of my family would not be suffering the way they are now, and our lives would be totally different. This should be REQUIRED reading for any new parent!

Summary: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations
Comment: Finely written, well organized information. Great tool for empowering parents to make appropriate choices for their own children, with a wider range of information than what you typically recieve from the medical community.
