It is commonly known in society today that after the introduction of vaccines, there have been a drastic decrease in diseases and public health concerns in the world. Now, immunizations are highly dependent on and have lowered disease rates and even eradicated those that once plagued our society. Depending on the type of disease, vaccinations can be given to children as early as at birth. Vaccines work by inserting a deceased or inactive version of the virus into one’s body so that their natural immune system is able to create specific antibodies designed to target and destroy these foreign diseases (Clem, 2011). Through the use of vaccines, the body is able to create these antibodies so that the host can have immunity to these diseases without

From the registry, researchers were able to determine the doses of the whole-cell pertussis given before June 1992 which contained thimerosal while those after were thimerosal free. Those who received previous vaccines before June 1992 were classified in the category of received thimersoal containing vaccine (Hviid, Sellfeld,Wohlfahrt, Melbye, 2003). Information containing conditions associated with autism such as tuberous sclerosis, congenital rubella and Angelman syndrome were obtained from the National Hospital Discharge Register (Knudsen, Olsen, 1998). Other factors that may affect the study included examples such as the child’s sex or birth weight and were obtained from the Danish civil system (Hviid, Sellfeld,Wohlfahrt, Melbye, 2003). Indications from other evaluations showed that disorders usually began occurring after the age of one, which was why the researches chose to begin follow ups at that age (Hviid, Sellfeld,Wohlfahrt, Melbye, 2003). Children from the age of one or starting from Janurary 1, 1991 were asked to follow up if diagnosed with autism or other autistic spectrum disorders, tuberous sclerosis, Angelman syndrome, fragile X syndrome, congenital rubella, death, disappearance or until the child reaches 11 years of age (Hviid, Sellfeld,Wohlfahrt, Melbye, 2003). Incidence rates were …show more content…
Inflammation was found in eleven of the participants, with reactive ileal lymphoid hyperplasia in seven children (Wakefield, Murch, et al, 1998). Laboratory results showed raised urinary methylmalonic acid in 8 of the 12 subjects and low serum IgA and haemoglobin in four of the children (Wakefield, Murch, et al, 1998). The MRI and EEG tests were normal, showing no signs of neurological abnormalities (Wakefield, Murch, et al, 1998). Traits of autism were shown in nine children, while the rest had viral and disintegrative psychosis diagnosis (Wakefield, Murch, et al,
