Researching vaccinations can be a very daunting task. More information is out there than ever due to controversy surrounding vaccines in the last decade. We've tried to create a great list of resources to help make things a little easier for all the confused Mommas out there!
EverydayHealth.com has a simple, but informative FAQ section on childhood vaccinations.
CDC- Vaccination Schedule: You can find an easy to read, printable schedule for recommended vaccinations up to age 6. There is even a "catch up" tool to help determine how you need to go about getting a missed dose.

Relfe.com offers a perspective on why parents choose not to vaccinate their children.
WebMD.com explains what Dr. Sear's Alternative Vaccination Schedule, the difference between an alternative schedule and routine schedules and the advantages/disadvantages.
If you know of any other great resources, we'd love to hear about them!

Thanks Bradey! Congrats on expecting...little girls are SO fun! :) PS- You will love the "itzbeen" timer. You reminded me that I should have added that to our registry post. I didn't have one with my daughter but plan on getting one when my son comes in November. With a toddler, two crazy dogs, blog and photography business...I'll probably need a reminder that I need to change a diaper or feed. LOL ;o)

A resource that I have found to be extremely helpful is The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears. Each of the first 12 chapters give unbiased information about each vaccine. The rest of the book also has additional information on vaccinations as well as alternatives to the current schedule (and reasons behind it).
ReplyDeleteI have done a lot of research and it has been difficult to determine the truth through the biases of both sides. This books really helped me understand each vaccine and then make a decision that we felt right with.
Great resource, thanks so much for sharing!
