Product Description
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.

 Out of Date November 3, 2008

This book is so out of date that I don't think any pediatricians use the vaccines or techniques ( such as stacking vaccines) they warn you about.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.
 Okay October 24, 2008
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.
 I wish I had known this book existed before I made the mistake of vaccianting my boys August 30, 2008
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!
 What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations August 25, 2008
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.
This was a great research starter for me August 4, 2008
I think the toughest part in reading books on vaccination is that you can find a book to support ANY conclusion that you have already made. But what about those of us who are (were) genuinely uncertain about what we plan to do with our children? I borrowed this book from a friend when I was pregnant and I highly recommend it as a place to start. Other reviewers are correct -- she is not vehemently anti-vaccination OR pro-vaccination. I appreciated the middle of the road approach, and since I can think for myself, I didn't mind that her recommendations were based on what is required by law in most states to enter school, etc. She mentions the exemptions, but acknowledges that her recommendations are based on if you want to give vaccines, but want to be cautious with it. I only give this book 4 stars because it was published in 2001 and a lot of its info needs to be updated (hint, hint, new edition??), but I still honestly recommend that parents who are looking to start their own quest for answers start here.
The vaccines covered include Hep B, DTP/DPaP, Hib, Polio, MMR, Varicella, Hep A, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal, Flu, Lyme Disease, and some brief overviews of Japanese encephalitis, Cholera, and yellow fever (vaccines for world travelers). Cave also includes a history of vaccines, including some failures. Cave's approach shies away from telling parents what to do, but it does give lots of information to think on and form your own conclusions.
