The aim of the research done by Karácsony, Szalai, Olah, Boncz, Brantmuller, Ferenczy, and Pakai examined the factors of what factors go into the parent’s decision to vaccinate, or not (2015). What they found in this research was that the information that the parents heard was what shaped their opinion, but they still did not show that they understood the vaccination (Karácsony et al., 2015). The parents showed that they did know about the disease and they did not know about how effective the vaccines are if they are given (2015). Most parents also stated that the information that they did currently have about vaccines came from reading about it on media sites (2015). What the parents seemed to focus on was the side effects.

They studied to see if there was a link between MMR vaccine and autism. In this study, they examined patients who had autism and when they were vaccinated with MMR(Taylor et al., 1999). They also found in their study, that the data was so low that if there was any link it was so small that it would not be identified (1999). In another study done in 2013, researchers, Destefano, Price, and Weintraub, did a study to see (again) if there was a link between vaccines and autism. The case took a thousand kids between the ages of 6-13 and looked at the proteins in patients with autism and patients without (Destefano, et al. 2013). The researchers looked at how often the children were exposed to vaccines for two years (2013). The research showed in the end that there was no increase in autism over this study (2013). There has been thousands of other studies done to study the link between vaccines and autism, and the majority show that there is no correlation between the …show more content…
(for example the U.S. went 14 years with little or no reported cases of measles), is resulting in the U.S. being on the verge of an epidemic of measles and pertussis. All cases that have been reported in the U.S. have been caused by people traveling to other countries which do not protect its population under the same guidelines as the U.S. The researchers of the study done by Parker et al., looked at the epidemic of measles coming back to America after it had been eradicated from the United States in 2000. The researchers that are working with The New England Journal of Medicine, a reputable scholarly journal of medicine, did a series of investigations looking at the number of persons that were and were not immunized against measles from 1995 to 2004. They compared this to the number of people that came in contact with someone who had the measles virus. They found the majority that contracted measles came from parents that failed to vaccinate their child against this disease. The importance of this article is that even though the United States has been clear of this disease for fifteen years, exposure to only one person from a different country with measles, it spread to all those children who came from families whose parents refused to get them vaccinated. Now this epidemic has come to light again and now the country has to work toward stronger strategies of
