The Vaccine Book offers parents a fair, impartial, fact-based resource from the most trusted name in pediatrics. Dr. Bob devotes each chapter in the book to a disease/vaccine pair and offers a comprehensive discussion of what the disease is, how common or rare it is, how serious or harmless it is, the ingredients of the vaccine, and any possible side effects from the vaccine.

This completely revised edition offers:

  • Updated information on each vaccine and disease
  • More detail on vaccines' side effects
  • Expanded discussions of combination vaccines
  • A new section on adult vaccines
  • Additional options for alternative vaccine schedules
  • A guide to Canadian vaccinations

The Vaccine Book provides exactly the information parents want and need as they make their way through the vaccination maze.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Incredibly helpful information. Very nuanced and fair discussion of the vaccines benefits and potential risks. The most balanced review I have come across in my research.

Super helpful for first time parent

There is a lot of great information in this book. If you plan to read it all the way through, then go back to other sections, it is very good.

What's odd is that it leaves out a lot critical information regarding vaccine safety data until the end. The first half+ of the book is going vaccine by vaccine, listing off stats and ingredients showing benefit and risk.

The problem with doing so in this order is that it makes the risks for each seem minimal as he reads off the official data. It isn't until later that he reveals key points including the vast underreporting in VAERS, selective use and destruction of safety studies, and more in depth reasoning for why concerning ingredients are dangerous.

If the chapters were flipped around where he explained the data/ingredients first, then went shot by shot, I would've given it the 5th star.

This book is not a blatantly pro or anti vaccine book. If you lean in either direction, there will be things that you love in here and things that you hate. It is a good bridge for trying to inform yourself or someone you know.

If you're pro vaccine and read this, you'll probably be more open to reading anti vaccine books after. If you're anti vaccine, you're going to end up checking several stats that indicate high efficacy for several of these shots that you credited completely to sanitation improvements.

Good info, but weird format

A must read to better understand vaccinations

There were times when the author contradicted himself. He would state what vaccines he would choose and then say well you need to get with your family and friends and your doctor even though im a doctor, i cant say what you should do…. His view is pro vaccine but he didnt have the balls to recommend it to the listeners.

I like that the author gives his advise and states scientific evidence of both sides of the vaccine debate.
