The study, one of the largest examining the issue, challenges a push by some parents against vaccinating their children.
There's no link between autism and the vaccine that prevents measles, mumps and rubella, according to a new study that challenges a push by some parents against vaccinating their children.
Researchers studied over 650,000 children born in Denmark from 1999 through 2010 and used Danish population registries to gather information on vaccinations, autism diagnoses and other risk factors, such as if the child had a sibling diagnosed with autism. Researchers also said vaccines did not increase the risk of developing autism among children who had siblings with the disorder.
