Abstract

A retrospective cohort study conducted in Denmark studying all the children born in the country between 1991 and 1998 revealed that there was no increased risk of autism in children receiving the MMR vaccine versus those who were not vaccinated. The relative risk of developing autism in those vaccinated for MMR versus the unvaccinated was 0.92, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.68 to 1.24, showing no significant difference.
