 Very helpful and neutral November 6, 2008
This book really helped us decide what to do for vaccines. It lists ingredients, and it gives arguments for both sides without telling you which way you should lean. Also suggests an alternative schedule which was really nice.
A physicians review of "The Vaccine Book" November 4, 2008
I am a family physician and find this book to be the most important source for information on all vaccines. I would recommend this book to all primary and pediatric physicians. The information is to the point and very informative. Dr. Sears has many great suggestions on how to deal with patients concerns. He is non-biased and non-judgemental. For the lay population, he explains all that is needed about vaccines and gives several alternatives geared to the parents concerns. I will recommend this book to all my pediatric parents and fellow physicians. I would rate this book a 5 star-super book
 Costs vs Benefit November 2, 2008
Excellent book about what goes into vaccinations and thinking twice before you blindly vaccinate your child or yourself. I decided to get one shot at a time for my baby, also following the selective schedule. Thanks to this book I was on the lookout for reactions and after one of each shot, we decided it was enough. After Dtap at 3 months, our baby quit babbling and withdrew for about 10 days, luckily recovered. We then did Prevnar and Hib at 4 months, to which he had inconsolable crying for 90 mins, a fever for 3 days, and projectile vomiting for 3 days. I wasn't confortable to risk the next reactions. We also did Polio to which he had no reaction. I have since continued to read other authors and have come to the conclusion if private insurance companies who do the best liability studies say they will NOT cover damage to life due to: Acts of God, Nuclear war, and vaccinations. Think about that along with the fact that you can't sue for damage thanks to our government protecting the makers, makes you wonder why would so many people want to, that it took an act of congress to protect the manufactures.
Thank you Dr. Sears October 30, 2008

As a practicing pediatrician in Fort Worth, Texas, I refer to Dr. Sears' book daily. He humbly approaches the subject and reassures parents that vaccinating their child is a good decision. This is the most exhaustive independent review of vaccine manufacturing that I have seen. I have only minor quibbles. I have seen a case of tetanus. It was terrible. A home born newborn was infected from tying off of the umbilical cord in an unsterile condition. Second, I think he overstates the risk of aluminum; Australian data indicates up to 2mg a day is safe. However, if I had written a book with so much information, I am sure many of my colleagues would have an issue or two. Thank you, Dr. Sears, for your informative and helpful book. And God Bless all you parents working so hard for your children and their future. Frank McGehee, MD
The Vaccine Book October 28, 2008
This is the most amazing book on vaccines. It gives you all of the information you need to make an informed decision about your child's vaccines. It includes ingredients for each shot, as well as, the possible side effects.
