520 3 Paul A. Offit, M.D., and Charlotte A. Moser, leading
advocates for modern vaccines, answer parents' numerous
questions about the underlying science of modern vaccines
and the value of childhood immunization, while
forthrightly addressing parents' concerns about vaccine
safety. In straightforward prose, the authors explain how
vaccines work, how they are made, what goes into their
making, as well as vaccines' real risks, balanced against
the danger of childhood infectious diseases and the threat
of diseases that have reemerged due to declining childhood
vaccination rates. Offit and Moser address parental fears
that children may receive too many vaccines too early.
They consider the evidence that the HPV vaccine may cause
chronic fatigue or other dangerous side effects, and they
lay to rest any worries that additives and preservatives
in vaccines cause autism. The authors warn against
complacency and a false sense of security or the notion
that a disease is too remote to do a child serious harm.
There couldn't be a better moment& mdash;or a more
pressing need& mdash;for a book that offers honesty, not
hype, about protecting children's health.
