Can the meningitis vaccine contribute to autism of my child

No relationship: The currently used vaccines for children in the United States are not related to autism. They do not cause autism, make autism better, nor make it worse. However, the 3 meningitis vaccines can contribute good to the health of an autistic child. The reason is that such a child already has one brain problem, so parents and doctors do not want such a child to suffer a brain infection like meningitis.

No: Autism is a developmental condition which is currently diagnosed in about 1 in 150 children. Recent imagining studies show that the brains of children who later develop autism demonstrate changes in the first few months of life. The current thought is that it has a very strong genetic component.

Entirely inaccurate: Someone earlier referenced the article from j toxicol environ health a. 2011 jan;74(14):903-16. It doesn't show causality between vaccines and autism. The authors even state, "although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed." the article associates vaccination rates with autism only.

No: No vaccine has been shown to cause autism. This has been studied exhaustively over the past decade. People became worried about vaccinating their children for whooping cough because of this mistaken idea, & now the us has more whooping cough cases since the 1950's! the hib vaccine has saved thousands of lives, almost eradicated haemophilus infections, is very safe, & very effective.
