an eye opener

I recommend this book to every parent and parent to be as well as health care professionals, especially pediatricians. It is an eye opener about the issue of vaccinations. The presentation of the issue is very well rounded. It provides sections on:1. the childhood diseases against which the routine vaccinations are given 2. the opinions of the health care professionals on the vaccinations themselves 3. the experiences of parents with vaccinations 4. guidelines on how to gather information about vaccination exemptions and alternative "treatments".I strongly recommend it. All parents owe to get informed about vaccinations. God the Almighty entrusted our children to us and we need to care for them with knowledge, and pray for the best.

Reasoned voice in the emotional debate

Most of the articles I read on vaccination are very emotional - they are either pro or against it. They make the decision making process of a new parent even harder. This book has a reasoned, less combative tone. It presents opinions as well as information from both side of the debate. I found it educational and helpful.

If you read only one book on vaccination, this is it!

Both sides of the vaccination controversy are presented here. Parents can make a more informed choice on vaccinating or nor vaccinating their children after reading this book.
