Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
Two significant studies into the safety of MMR vaccine were published during the quarter. Both studies investigated the possibility of a link between MMR vaccine use and the development of autism, and one also investigated the possibility of a link with the development of Crohn’s disease. The findings of both studies, one of which was conducted by the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) and a team from the Royal Free Hospital4 and the other by a working party set up by the Committee of Safety on Medicines,5 reinforced the conclusion of the Medical Research Council’s expert group that there is no evidence of a link between either measles or MMR vaccine and autism or bowel disease.6
