This book was great--very informative and clear with no propaganda or pressure. I think every parent should give it a read so they have the information to make the best vaccination decision for their children.
Probably the best book on vaccination I've read to date, despite that it has a pretty strong pro-vax bias. The organization makes it easy to use; it gives a lot of information that fairly represents both sides; it's one of the most up-to-date books out there.
Well-written and factual, not terribly biased and quite understanding towards those who distrust vaccines -- a valuable addition to vaccine literature.

The closest thing to a balanced view of vaccinations that I've found. Bob Sears goes through the vaccines one by one, and brand by brand, finds all of the research that is out there, and delivers it in a mostly unbiased way. He clearly supports vaccinating children, but admits that there are some unanswered questions that might give parents pause and explores the limits of the research we currently have available. He is respectful of parents' concerns and also of their role as the ultimate decision-makers for their children.
Before reading this book, I was afraid to vaccinate my second child at all, even though I believed it was important from a public health standpoint. This book helped me to design a schedule that met my need for the safety of my individual children and my need to participate in the health of our larger society. And it helped me to approach my doctor with confidence when presenting my schedule and my reasoning behind it. I'm not the type of person who'll ever feel 100% confident I've made the right choices, but I feel one heck of a lot more comfortable with my decisions this time around than when I was flying blind with my first child and her vaccinations.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found that he was very unbiased and gave me just the facts I was looking for to make an informed decision.
