Dr. Sears has an alternative vaccination schedule in his Vaccine Book. The book was recommended to me when I was pregnant and I found it to be very informative. Overall, I would say that it is rather pro-vaccine in that Dr. Sears still recommends getting all the vaccines. He does, however, go through the usual side effects, ingredients, and importance of each vaccine to help you make a more informed decision on whether or not to give it to your child. Personally, I feel that most of them are unnecessary, but they are required by the public school systems here so I don't have much choice unless I want to homeschool.. which I do not. It's definitely important to make sure your pediatrician is on board with any alternative schedule you're interested in.. I've heard of doctors refusing to keep patients who don't want to stick to the CDC-recommended schedule.
