MMR vaccine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Controversy has arisen regarding the safety of the MMR vaccine, because some scientists and parents contend that the vaccine might be linked to the development of a number of conditions, such as autism, bowel disorders such as Crohn's disease, and the brain disorder Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The MMR vaccine is a mixture of live but attenuated viruses, administered via injection for immunization against measles, mumps and rubella. Two other MMR vaccines were withdrawn in the UK in 1992 on safety grounds arising from the strain of mumps component. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MMR_vaccine   (2223 words)

Universal Acid: MMR vaccine and autism Before the MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988, a handful of children died of measles in the UK every year, and thousands contracted it. Even though they were cautious enough to state that "We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described," public fears of the MMR vaccine became widespread and MMR infant vaccination rates fell to record lows. A vaccine that prevents certain diarrheal diseases may not be safe enough to use in the West, where lethal childhood diarrhea is very rare, but in many developing countries where diarrhea is common and kills millions of kids, it might be worth the risk to save those millions of lives. universalacid.blogspot.com /2005/02/mmr-vaccine-and-autism.html   (3312 words)

The MMR vaccine Your child should have had her first dose of MMR vaccine at her 12- or 15-month checkup and another when she was 4 to 6 years old (but the second dose can be administered at any age, as long as it's at least 28 days after the first dose). Because the measles vaccine is made by growing the virus in chick embryo cells, children with egg allergies were at one time advised not to get the MMR vaccine. I have decided to get the vaccines even though autism is a great concern. parentcenter.babycenter.com /refcap/bigkid/ghealth/gvaccines/65897.html   (1461 words)

Vaccine/Vaccination/Immunization Dangers - MMR Vaccine, Page 2 The efficacy for all measles vaccines was estimated to be 90 percent (95% confidence interval (CI) 75 to 96) and for measles-mumps vaccine 87 percent (CI 70 to 95). Vaccine manufacturers and departments of public health unanimously assert the safety of the trivalent measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, citing extensive safety testing. On the basis that effective monovalent vaccines were available the CSM could be confident that delay in granting a licence would not result in a catastrophic epidemic of measles, mumps and rubella. www.nccn.net /~wwithin/mmr2.htm   (3129 words)

NIP: Vacsafe/Concerns/Autism/FAQs-Autism and MMR Information on 96 children (95 immunized with MMR) who were born between 1992 and 1995 and were diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder were compared with data from 2 groups of autistic patients (one group of 98 born before MMR was ever used and one group of 68 who were likely to have received MMR vaccine). In 9 of the cases, the child's parents or pediatrician speculated that the MMR vaccine had contributed to the behavioral problems of the children in the study. It is unlikely, therefore, that bowel disease or the MMR vaccine triggered the autism. www.cdc.gov /nip/vacsafe/concerns/autism/autism-mmr.htm   (3183 words)

Medinfo: MMR Vaccination MMR vaccine is a three part vaccine, given by injection, which is to protect (immunise) against Measles, Mumps and German Measles (Rubella). Asthma has been linked, by some studies, with MMR vaccine, but the current view of the experts (epidemiologists) is that there is no strong evidence to support this. Medicines, and in this case MMR vaccine, are no exception, but vaccines are among the safest medicines. www.medinfo.co.uk /immunisations/mmr.html   (1081 words)

Institute for Vaccine Safety - MMR Vaccine Issues The IOM committee concluded that the body of epidemiological evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism and between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. Smeeth, et al report that MMR vaccination is not associated with an increased risk of pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs). A Danish study provides strong evidence against a causal relationship between MMR vaccination and autism. www.vaccinesafety.edu /cc-mmr.htm   (675 words)

Breaking News - Controversial Study Withdrawn Suggesting a Link Between Autism and MMR Vaccine Still, fear of the MMR vaccine has caused some parents to avoid immunizing their children, leaving them susceptible to diseases that once killed thousands. Wakefield, who did not sign the retraction, believes that the MMR vaccine causes abnormalities in the intestines that lead to the release of toxic chemicals that cause autism when they reach the brain. The authors write: "We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient. kidshealth.org /breaking_news/mmr_autism_study.html   (687 words)

NetDoctor.co.uk - Information about drugs for Patients Children who had a side effect within six weeks of receiving a previous MMR vaccine that involved easy bruising or bleeding for longer than normal (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) should have a test to measure the levels of antibodies in their blood before they are given a second dose of the vaccine. The MMR vaccine should be postponed for three months following receipt of blood or plasma transfusions or human immunoglobulins, because the antibodies already obtained from the transfusion or immunoglobulin will mean that the body is unlikely to produce a sufficient antibody response to the vaccine. However, the Medical Research Council in the UK has reviewed all the current evidence and research regarding the use of the vaccine and has concluded that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and these disorders. www.netdoctor.co.uk /medicines/showpreparation.asp?id=3072   (1144 words)

Adverse Outcomes Associated with Postpartum Rubella or MMR Vaccine The administration of rubella (and MMR) vaccine in the postpartum period is convenient for the medical practitioners, and little consideration is given to the viral transmission between the mother and her infant child. He was routinely vaccinated, including the hepatitis B series in infancy, an MMR vaccine at age 12 months, and a monovalent measles vaccine at 61 months of age. Though she was vaccinated as a child, this patient, who was born in 1957 and is afflicted with scleroderma, failed to develop protective rubella titers. www.haciendapub.com /yazbak.html   (3896 words)

Vaccine Hazards When the rotavirus vaccine was approved by the FDA committee, 8 of the 15 members were absent, 2 were excluded, and 4 of the remaining 5 had conflicts of interest that necessitated waivers. One member who cast three votes to recommend the rotavirus vaccine owned a patent for another rotavirus vaccine and admitted that he was paid by the pharmaceutical industry to travel around the country and teach doctors that vaccines are safe. When a rotavirus (infant diarrhea) vaccine was suddenly withdrawn from the market last year, the public was led to believe that it was because of new information about harmful side effects. www.chem-tox.com /pregnancy/vaccines.htm   (855 words)

Egg Allergy Does Not Increase Risk For Severe Reaction To MMR Vaccine MMR vaccine contains live measles virus, which is cultured in chick embryo cells. There has been a longstanding debate on the safety of the MMR vaccine for children with egg allergy. The culprit in allergic reactions to MMR may very well be gelatin, say the authors, citing several studies from Japan, where allergic reactions to MMR have recently increased, although they point out that there is no evidence to suggest a similar increase in the UK. www.pslgroup.com /dg/15d9f6.htm   (480 words)

mmr_autism.htm The government agencies will continue to proclaim the safety of the combined MMR vaccine, regardless of the evidence found to the contrary, citing studies which are hopelessly flawed, with some presenting with serious financial conflicts of interest. Also, when their data is analyzed correctly, taking into account the British "catch-up" campaign which vaccinated children up to 3-4 years of age when the MMR vaccine was introduced, the step-up in the incidence of autism occurs precisely after the MMR vaccine was first used. The controversy over an alleged link between the MMR vaccine and autism will certainly become even more contentious. www.mercola.com /2001/jan/28/mmr_autism.htm   (968 words)

Institute for Vaccine Safety - MMR-IBD: No link Concern [1] of potential loss of confidence in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been raised by a recent paper [2] that suggested a causal association between this vaccine (or another environmental trigger) and a new syndrome of chronic inflammatory bowel disease and autism.

sp!ked-health Issues MMR vaccine A GP and father of an autistic son argues that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism - and castigates the government for fanning the flames of panic. Regardless of the merits of the MMR jab, the ruling that two children must receive it against their mothers' wishes represents a worrying expansion of the law.

Autism-Biomed: Autism and MMR vaccine; revisited In their discussion they state: "We did not prove an association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the syndrome described." Since then the putative association between regressive autism and MMR vaccination has taken on a life of its own, including numerous letters to the editor of The Lancet. This site previously published an abstract of a paper by Dr. Brent Taylor with data refuting the implied conclusion of Dr. Wakefield that MMR vaccine is causally linked to autistic regression (Lack of a causal relationship between MMR vaccine and autism). In 6 children with a formal diagnosis of autism, onset of behavioral symptoms by history was linked to recent (within 2 weeks) immunization with MMR vaccine. www.autism-biomed.org /mmr-rev.htm   (1433 words)

MMR Vaccine These vaccines are not as common as MMR, and your doctor will tell you if your child should get any of them.

MMR vaccine quotes Unfortunately, her youngest son was accidentally given an MMR vaccine by a practitioner; he developed a fever and started crying 6 hours after the shot, and he regressed into autism within 10 days. If doctors themselves are afraid of the vaccine, why on earth should the law require that you and other parents allow them to administer it to your kids?"--Dr Mendelsohn MD In 1989, the then Health Minister Edwina Currie claimed that the new triple measles—mumps—rubella (MMR) vaccine would offer "life-long protection with a single jab". Jeff Bradstreet, MD All the sources of error identified in the (Danish) study distort it in the same direction: obscuring the role of the MMR vaccine and exonerating it from any suspicion that it may cause autism. www.whale.to /vaccine/mmr49.html   (4552 words)
