Does thimerosal cause autism or any other neurological disorders?
MDH has reviewed much of the science regarding this and has found no conclusive evidence that any vaccine or vaccine additive increases the risk of developing autism or any other behavior disorder. Rather, accumulating evidence indicates a lack of a connection between neurological disorders and exposure to vaccine containing thimerosal as a preservative. In a 2004 report, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that there is no association between autism and vaccines that contain thimerosal as a preservative. Nonetheless, given the level of concern among parents and others regarding vaccines and autism, the CDC is committed to investigating this issue to the fullest extent possible, using the best scientific methods available.
