Does the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine (MMR) cause autism?
No, there is no scientific evidence to support this. The onset of autism may appear to be associated with the MMR vaccine because the average age at which parents with a child with autism first report concerns about their child’s development is around 18-months, that is, shortly after MMR vaccine is given.
