MMR jab link with autism ruled out

EXPERTS who analysed 31 studies conclusively rejected any suggestion that the triple measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab was linked to disorders including autism.

The Cochrane Review researchers, who analysed 31 studies from around the world, concluded that there was no credible evidence behind claims of harm from the MMR vaccine.

Health campaigners will hope this declaration will finally end confusion among parents and boost uptake of the jab.
