There is no link between receiving the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine before age 2 and being diagnosed with autism, according to a new study of more than 2.5 million U.S. children.
“These results reinforce existing evidence supporting the safety of MMR vaccination,” the medical research scientists, from University of Washington, wrote last week. The research supports decades of work with similar results, including by the World Health Organization, which said earlier this year there was no evidence that vaccines cause autism.
