A
recent study published in the Journal Pediatrics says, immunization
(vaccination) complete in children at the age of one day up to the
first two years of life, do not pose a risk to the disease of autism.
This information is written She Knows from CNN.
Currently
there are negative discourse, related to vaccine administration to
children. Most newspapers say, immunization contributes to an
increased risk of autism. As a result, many parents who are concerned
give their full immunization in children.
"Attention
on about vaccines have become a very significant issue. Many parents
today are deciding to delay or avoid a vaccine. There has been
anxiety when parents are concerned about whether vaccine is
associated with autism, they choose not to vaccinate their children,
"said Geraldine Dawson, chief science officer at Autism Speaks,
told TIME.
Meanwhile,
in the present study carried out observations of the vaccine into the
body of 256 children with Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD) and 752 children without autism
disorder.
They
were born between 1994 and 1999. Researchers calculate how much
vaccine is given and recorded the amount of antigen in the vaccine
for three different time periods. Ie, birth to age three months, from
birth until the age of seven months, and from birth to the first two
years of life.
"When
we compared them about 250 children with ASD and 750 children who did
not have ASD, we find their antigen exposure, as measured, is the
same," said Dr. Frank DeStefano, who is also director of
research leaders Immunization Safety Office at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
"There
is no relationship between antigenic exposure and development of
autism," said DeStefano.
