***New Covid Chapter Added in 2023***

From America's most trusted name in pediatrics, an indispensable, comprehensive guide for parents facing the childcare question of the decade: "Should I vaccinate my child?"

When you're considering which vaccinations are right for your child and when to administer them, there's a lot to think about. With twelve separate vaccines on the standard schedule and so much conflicting information available, it's easy to become overwhelmed. 

Dr. Bob Sears offers help. In this authoritative, impartial, fact-based guide to childhood vaccinations, he provides an in-depth look at each disease/vaccine pair and covers everything you need to know, including:
  • how common or rare, as well as how serious, each disease is
  • how each vaccine is made and what its ingredients are
  • which ingredients are potentially controversial
  • which brands and types of vaccines are safest
  • what each vaccine's side effects might be and how likely they are to occur
  • how to recognize, treat, and prevent vaccine side effects
  • how to tailor your child's shot schedule to minimize risks and satisfy state requirements
  • advice on adult vaccines and vaccines for international travel
  • an in-depth section on Canadian vaccinations
The Vaccine Book provides exactly the information you want and need as you make educated decisions for your children.

"The most evenhanded and thorough look at baby immunizations we've yet seen." —Babytalk
