To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate?

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/japan-suspends-use-of-two-vaccines-after-4-children-die-2462104

This is an interesting article that I read while reading some other articles in regards to Vaccinations. I honestly am not very educated in Vaccines but my knowledge might be that of the average person. It's been a big debate on whether or not to vaccinate your children or even yourself. There has been articles on the link between autism-vaccines, then questions on what is actually put into your vaccines.

Here are a few books that have been recommended to our patients to read in order to learn more about Vaccines:

"Don't Vaccinate! Before Your Educate" by Dr. Mayer Eisenstein MD, JD, MPH

This discuss Vaccinations in general. 
 
"MAKE an INFORMED VACCINE DECISION" by Dr. Mayer Eisenstein MD, JD, MPH

This book is good to read because it discuss several vaccines out there and the disease. Everything is properly cited from other research which you can follow up with.

I not read these books yet and will be reading them coming up next month then I will write my own review. I know that this is a sensitive topic and will probably inspire a deep debate but one thing that I have learned is that before you do anything is to go out and do the research yourself. That includes reading from all points of views and then from there make an informed decision. That is my personal goal with everything in life and Vaccinations is no different.
