One of the most debated topics among parents these days is whether or not to vaccinate.  There are compelling arguments on both sides of the fence.  None of us wants to risk the health or safety of our children, which is what makes this argument so difficult.  When it comes to intentions, both sides are absolutely correct.  The following books about vaccinations may help shed some light on this tough subject.

The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child

Written by famed parenting author Robert W. Sears, The Vaccine Book breaks down each vaccine and its corresponding disease to help us understand the disease itself, the frequency of it, known risks with the vaccine and other important information to decide about each vaccine on an individual basis.

Make an Informed Vaccine Decision for the Health of Your Child: A Parent's Guide to Childhood Shots

This book covers the same information as the previous book, but for those who prefer a different style to Dr. Sears, this will help you make the same decisions.  Both books are rated about the same and are top sellers on the topic.

The Vaccine Guide: Risks and Benefits for Children and Adults

The Vaccine Guide adds more information to the topic by including legal requirements, alternatives to traditional vaccinations, and information on bioterrorism.

Whether you already vaccinate your children (or yourself), or are trying to get the facts before you begin a vaccination schedule, these books can help you understand the risks versus benefits for each vaccine.  When it comes to the health of our children, more knowledge is always a good thing to have.
