The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child.
Robert Sears, $16.25
With the recent spate of publicity surrounding
the possible health risks posed by childhood immunization, parents
are no longer simply following doctor's orders and automatically
having their children vaccinated. Instead, they are asking questions.
The problem is the search for answers only leads parents to conflicting,
one-sided information. With The Vaccine Book, parents have
a fair, impartial, fact-based resource they can turn to for answers.
Each chapter is devoted to a disease/vaccine
pair and offers a comprehensive discussion of what the disease is,
how common or rare it is, how serious or harmless it is, the ingredients
of the vaccine, and any possible side effects from the vaccine.
Ultimately, parents will have to make their own informed decisions
as Dr. Bob Sears is neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine. But The
Vaccine Book will provide exactly the information parents want
and need as they make their way through the vaccination maze. |

The Vaccine
Controversy: the History, Use and Safety of Vaccines. Kurt Link,
$46.50
Millions of people are vaccinated each year, whether they are elders
looking to avoid bouts of influenza or children whose parents want
to protect them from potentially deadly childhood diseases. Still,
there remains a vocal segment of the population in opposition to all
immunization, some even refusing to get mandated vaccinations for
their children. Here, a specialist of internal medicine explores that
paradox. Dr. Link explains the immune system and how it works, as
well as the history of vaccine development, and the various types
of vaccines including the efficacy and potential toxicity of each.
A strong supporter of vaccination programs, Link says that all people
should understand the powers, limitations and risk of immunization. |
