When comparing MMR-vaccinated with MMR-unvaccinated children, the researchers found no increased risk of autism for those who had received the MMR vaccine.
Carried out by researchers at the Statens Serum Institut, Denmark, the new study looked at 657,461 children born to Danish mothers in Denmark from 1999 through 31 December 2010 to investigate whether the MMR vaccine increases the risk for autism in children or in various subgroups of children, or clusters of autism cases after vaccination.
The researchers also found that there was no increased risk for autism after MMR vaccination in subgroups of children with a sibling history of autism, autism risk factors, or other childhood vaccinations, or during specified time periods after vaccination.
