Your Childrens Health

A recent British study, the largest of its kind, has reported that there it has found no evidence of a connection between the vaccine for Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) and autism.

This comes after a huge debate that was sparked off back in 1987 after a doctor suggested that the MMR vaccine caused autism. As a consequence, a lot of parents paid heed and didn’t vaccinate their children; this lead to an outbreak of all 3 diseases.

The recent study, which screened the blood samples of a group of children (all who’d previously received an MMR shot), didn’t find any abnormal responses to the vaccine in their immune system.
