Vaccinating is a controversial subject, which is a growing concern for today’s parents. We struggle with finding the answers to our questions, wanting to get the whole picture – risks, benefits, and the most recent research about approaches to immunity and disease prevention, all which will assist us in making informed choices about immunizing our children. Freedom of choice in health care includes the choice to vaccinate or not. Parents should question the routine use of vaccines, investigate the subject, ask questions, and read the literature. This doesn’t constitute disagreement, but rather promotes educated decision-making.  Informed parents can make better choices for their children. Our desire is for our site to serve as a bridge that will unite both “sides” with the common goal of optimal health for all children.

Vaccinations – A Thoughtful Parent’s Guide , by Aviva Jill Romm
Excerpt: This book is about helping parents make intelligent health care choices for their children, operating on the premise that the good of the individual and the good of society are not mutually exclusive independent variables but are codependent factors. Mahatma Ghandi said, “Any action thata is dictated by fear or coercion of any kind ceases to be moral.”
