Should you vaccinate your child? This book, written especially for concerned parents, is an honest guide to childhood shots with essential information on every childhood vaccine.
The current schedule of recommended vaccines is so crowded that doctors give babies several shots during a single office visit -- up to eight vaccines all at one time. Parents -- and doctors -- often forget that vaccines are drugs.
How often do we, as adults, take that many drugs at the same time?
Would we be more surprised if we did or did not have an adverse reaction?
Dr. Mayer Eisenstein has practiced medicine, delivered babies, and provided families with preventive healthcare services for over 35 years. This honest guide to childhood shots was written especially for concerned parents. With Dr. Eisenstein's help, it is now possible to make informed vaccine decisions.
In this book you will learn:
- The prevalence and seriousness of each disease, including who is most at risk.
- How each vaccine is made, with a complete list of ingredients.
- Side effects of each vaccine, with a summary of significant studies.
- Precautions parents can take to protect their children.
"A MUST READ for anyone considering vaccination. Parents will be prepared to make truly informed decisions that can affect their children for generations to come." - Jerry Kartzinel, MD, FAAP, Board Certified Pediatrics
"This is an excellent book, which I will certainly recommend to my patients. I believe it is the best single volume on the subject for a general audience." - Richard Moskowitz, MD, Family Medicine
