Comparison of Research Articles: Vaccinations and Autism Rates
Although vaccination coverage remains high in most countries, parents are concerned about the effects of vaccines among children. Some parents associate certain vaccines with increased rates of autism. Research evidence proves that MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella are unrelated to autism. Instead, research reveals that autism is caused by changes in diagnostic criteria (Pearce, Mindlin, Cortina-Borja, & Bedford, 2013).This paper presents a comparison of two articles highlighting the impact of parental decision regarding vaccination.
