Dr. Robert Sears, author of The Vaccine Book, makes a compelling case for an alternative safer vaccine schedule for our children. The Vaccine Book is the first resource I've come across that is pro-vaccine, yet addresses the concept of a potentially "safer" alternative vaccine schedule for our children.

As a parent researching information on vaccines, I find the information available is often at opposite ends of the spectrum - either 100% pro-vaccine per the CDC's recommended immunization schedule or 100% anti-vaccine from medical experts on the fringe. Classy Mommy thinks this book is a great pro-vaccine resource for parents today. According to Dr. Sears, his schedule basically gives 2 shots at a time and spreads shots out over the first few years of life instead of grouping all infant vaccines into the first 18 months of life.

As a Mom of a 2 year old and 3 month old, I loved this informative book. I found the writing style and research easy to digest. The Vaccine Book presents comprehensive research into the Product Inserts for each vaccine and also gives a breakdown of each vaccine by brand to show the differences in ingredients dependent upon the manufacturer of each shot. That info coupled with a discussion on what ingredients could be controversial enables parents to draw their own conclusions about each vaccine so they can make the best decision for their children.

Interested parents can also visit Dr. Sears website and blog for more info at www.TheVaccineBook.com . Check back later this week to read my interview with Dr.Sears !
