New Study Of MMR Vaccine Finds No Link To Autism, UK
There is no evidence of a link between the MMR (measles, mumps,
rubella) vaccine and autism according to a new independent virus
study - the most comprehensive ever undertaken - published today. The
new report comes ten years after the original Lancet article by Dr
Wakefield called into question the safety of the MMR vaccine.
The joint report by Guys Hospital, the Health Protection Agency and
Manchester University, looked for the measles virus and antibody
levels in children. It linked very careful assessment and diagnosis
of a child's condition, with expert analysis of blood samples carried
out by laboratories recognised as world leading by the World Health
Organization.
The study found that there was no difference between the results from
autistic and non-autistic children.
Welcoming the study, published today in the Archive of Diseases of
Childhood, director of immunisation at the Department of Health
Professor David Salisbury said:
"It's natural for parents to worry about the health and well-being of
their children and I hope that this study will reassure them that
there is no evidence linking the MMR vaccine to autism."
Dr David Brown, from the Health Protection Agency who worked on the
study added:
"The study found no evidence linking MMR to autistic spectrum
disorder and the paper adds to the overwhelming body of evidence from
around the world supporting the use of MMR.
"Public confidence in the MMR vaccine continues to remain high as the
uptake for those receiving their first dose has stayed stable.
However, it is also important to remember that children should
complete their full course of MMR vaccine or optimum protection."
This virus study reached the same conclusion as a number of large
epidemiological studies. The studies found that rate of autism in
children who have no had the MMR vaccine is the same as those who
have.
Notes:
1. The study was a collaboration between the Health Protection Agency
(HPA), Guys Hospital and Manchester University.
2. MMR is the safest and most effective way of protecting children
from measles, mumps and rubella. MMR has been used extensively and
safely around the world for nearly 30 years - with over 500 million
doses given in over 100 countries. MMR is also recognised by the
World Health Organisation as having an outstanding safety record.
3. MMR is a combined vaccine usually given to children between 12 and
15 months of age and again at around four years, as protection
against measles, mumps and rubella. MMR was introduced into the UK
immunisation programme in 1988 and has substantially reduced the
incidence of death and disability due to these three infections.
4. Latest HPA uptake figures for MMR show that uptake has remained
stable at 85.2 per cent (quarter July - Sept 2007).
