Immunizations

Vaccines and Autism

There have been over 100 studies conducted at major U.S. and European universities and hospitals to determine if there is any connection between immunizations and autism. 

Each of these studies has shown no connection between any vaccine, or combination of vaccines, and the development of autism.

Extensive information is available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. Resources include information on the latest scientific studies, immunization safety, mitochondrial diseases, and more.

Concerned parents are encouraged to contact 1-800-CDC-INFO or cdcinfo@cdc.gov to speak with someone about vaccines and autism.
