MMR Vaccine Not Cause Autism

In a recent study on the vaccine, the researchers found evidence that imuniasi child again has nothing to do with autism. The study conducted by Dr. Anjali Jain of the Lewin Group and has been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.


Lewin Group is an organization of health care consultant. Their research found the brothers and sisters of children with autism are not at higher risk when they are vaccinated, compared with the brothers and sisters of children without autism.

No previous studies have found an increased risk of autism in children with autism brother. So some parents believe autism to the brother has something to do with vaccinations, especially the MMR vaccine. They then feel free to immunize younger siblings.

In his research Jain discover vaccination among children who have a brother or sister is lower, 86 percent in five years compared to 92 percent in those who did not have a brother or sister with autism.

But among the 95 thousand children with autistic older brother who was involved in the study, children who received the MMR vaccine and has an older sister with autism are no more at risk of developing autism than children who got the vaccine and do not have a brother with autism.

In fact, the relative risk of autism in between that had a lower autism sister when they were vaccinated compared to those who were not vaccinated.

Our research confirms that children with a brother that we know increase the risk of autism, they are less vaccinated, said Jain. But children with autism who were vaccinated, there is no increased risk of vaccination than children who do not get vaccinated, he added.

The result of this study, Jain said, should stop the worries of parents with autistic children that vaccinating her sister would increase the risk of autism.

Large-scale studies and facts vaccination and autism information that is not collected for the purpose of study vaccine and autism but as a large health insurance database also reinforce the recent research. (Lewin Group that makes this latest study is a self-contained part of the Optum, which collects data).

We do not yet understand the cause of autism in children or certain families. There may be genetic factors and the environment. But we were able to examine the vaccine itself and prove there is no link between vaccinations and autism, he said.
