MMR Vaccine |
|
There is no scientific
evidence that MMR vaccine causes autism. The question about a possible
link between MMR vaccine and autism has been extensively reviewed by
independent groups of experts in the U.S., including the Health Division
of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine
(formerly the Institute of Medicine). These reviews have concluded that
there is not a causal link between MMR vaccine and autism. |
