Book would help people understand vaccines

Doctors are once again expressing their frustration with the low vaccination rates. On the other hand, the vaccine safety crowd complains that doctors treat their concerns as “been there, done that.”
How about someone in the medical education community doing what was done with Creationism? Collect the common and strongest arguments into a book, and address them in detail. No, it won't convince the die-hards, but it at least moves the discussion along. If there is such a book, I haven't seen it.
Once you get your first draft completed, get their feedback, because it's obvious that the two sides haven't been hearing each other.
