MMR vaccine safe, say experts

RESEARCH by experts from all over the world further debunked any link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

The US-led findings come amid a surge in measles cases fuelled by children left unvaccinated.

Years of research with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine have concluded that it does not cause autism. But some parents’ fears persist, partly because of the 1998 British study that linked the vaccine with a subgroup of autistic children who also had serious gastrointestinal problems.
