Deciding whether or when to vaccinate a child is on.

About this product

Product Information

* A balanced, comprehensive guide to routine childhood vaccinations that offers parents the information they need to make the right choices for their child. * Fairly examines the pros and cons of this highly charged issue. Deciding whether or when to vaccinate a child is one of the most important--and most difficult--health-care decisions a parent will ever make. The recent increase in the number of vaccinations recommended and the concurrent controversies about whether vaccinations are safe or even effective have left many parents confused and concerned. Midwife, herbalist, and mother of four, Aviva Jill Romm sifts through the spate of current research on vaccine safety and efficacy and offers a sensible, balanced discussion of the pros and cons of each routine childhood vaccination. She presents the full spectrum of options available to parents: full vaccination on a standardized or individualized schedule, selective vaccination, or no vaccinations at all. Negotiating daycare and school requirements, dealing with other parents, and traveling with an unvaccinated child are covered in detail. The book also suggests ways to strengthen children's immune systems and maintain optimal health and offers herbal and homeopathic remedies for childhood ailments. Emphasizing that no single approach is appropriate for every child, the author guides parents as they make the choices that are right for their child.

Reviews
. . . provides objective, useful information to support parents as they make decisions about immunization., Now especially, as the anthrax scare has some folks advocating compulsory vaccinations for all, Romm's wise and well-written book is a breath of fresh air., Aviva Jill Romm brings a high level of intelligence and insight to the debate on public policies regarding vaccination. Level-headed and thoroughly researched, yet eminently readable, her book leaves no stones unturned and refuses to shy away from challenging the status quo. It should be read by every parent who is considering vaccination for their child; and I daresay that it should also be mandatory reading for every health professional in the position of recommending (or discouraging) the use of vaccines., Romm takes a holistic approach to disease prevention yet provides balanced information on all aspects of the vaccination controversy. Overall, the book uses a commonsense approach that allows the reader to weigh the available options., The best book I've seen on the subject. Its commonsense, nonhysterical approach assures legitimate informed consent., Aviva Romm has written a book of aid and comfort for agonized parents who must make intelligent life decisions for their kids while lacking reliable information about how vaccines act.

by jeffers515Aug 19, 2007
Very informative, unbiased in my opinion!
This book is excellent! It gives you a VERY informed decision on the matter of vaccines. I did not feel it pulled you in either direction. It gives you the pros and cons of each vaccine and the risks/benefits associated with it. I used this book in decided which vaccines my children would have and which seemed unneccesary for either of my children's individual needs. Most books/websites are Pro-Vaccination or Pro-NONVac...this book was not like that. It gave details of each vaccines and details of each virus/infection should not vaccinate. In the back it also gives you healthy herbal alternatives if you should decide NOT to vaccinate. I feel this book is highly useful and unbiased enough that I felt I wasn't getting half-truths or embelishments!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Please do your own research too as some books can become outdated with information (this was pretty updated).Read full review
