It seems that whether or not to vaccinate your child, or how often to vaccinate, is now a controversial subject. Some moms refrain from having a child vaccinated, while others want shots given at intervals rather than in the typical series of shots recommended by most pediatricians.
Some alternative health practitioners and advocates don’t necessarily advise vaccinations be given, while mainstream health professionals continue to stress the importance of routine immunizations.
As a way to offer mothers a sense of clarity on the issue, the author of the bestselling book, “What to Expect When You are Expecting,” offers a free resource regarding childhood vaccines. The Mom Salon has an interview with Heidi Murkoff, as well as links to her free website link, “What to Expect Guide to Immunizations.”
With recent outbreaks of mumps, measles and pertussis (whooping cough) in the U.S., all of which are preventable diseases, Murkoff’s free guide is informative reading for all moms.
