Can you get autism from vaccines?
NoThere is absolutely no evidence linking vaccines with autism.A huge meta-analysis (a study of 10 large studies involving more than 1.2 million children) demonstrated there is absolutely no link. If you are interested, the study can be found here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X14006367This position is supported by the UK National Autistic Society: https://bit.ly/2OY5XLzClinic nurses regularly discuss these issues with parents and completely understand the complex range of opinions available. Our nurses are always willing to talk these issues through and will happily review any information that you have been given.
Are there side effects when you have a vaccine?
As with any medication, there is always the risk of side effects and vaccines are no different. However, the risks of side effects are far smaller than the risk of the diseases they prevent. The main side effects children appear to have after a vaccine are fevers, injection site pain, occasional rashes and feeling ‘under-the-weather’, or a bit grumpy. There may be specific side effects associated with particular vaccines, and these will be discussed with individual patients/parents.
