The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using data from the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program (MADDSP), examined the incidence of autism in children who received their measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine either before or after 36 months of age.
Given this high frequency, universal screening utilizing immunohistochemistry of proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 has become the standard of care in tumors to identify MMR deficiency.
Some 92.3 per cent of children were vaccinated with the first dose of MMR by their second birthday, down from 92.7 per cent the year before, data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) showed .
The investigators--all from institutions participating in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Safety Datalink project--compared outcomes after 123,200 doses of the MMR-varicella (MMRV) combination vaccine and 584,987 doses of MMR and varicella (MMR+V) vaccines given on the same day (Pediatrics 2015 [doi:10.1542/peds.2014-1822]).
Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board is arranging for MMR vaccinations to be offered to all pupils at the school who are not fully vaccinated next week.
