Sharon and all:
Check out the following page from the AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN Web site:
http://www.aafp.org/family/afp/970201ap/special1.html
"ACIP Issues Update on Potential Adverse Events from Vaccines"
On this page are charts that discuss various childhood vaccines and the
casual relationship to childhood diseases. It states there is "INADEQUATE
EVIDENCE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT A CASUAL RELATIONSHIP" between TM and the oral
polio vaccine. It said the same thing about the Hib vaccine.
Despite this, our doctors insisted there was no relationship between the two.
Thought some of you might find this interesting.
