As Seen on TV: MMR Vaccine and Autism

Sept. 3, 2008— -- The results of a new study, reported in the Public Library of Science today, provided more evidence that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, given to tens of millions of children each year, is not linked to autism.

Researchers at Columbia University say this study provides strong evidence that the vaccine should not be linked to autism.

The CDC outlines previous studies that have raised the question of the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism.
