Is the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) studying this issue of thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism?
Yes. The CDC is conducting a study looking at children who received a lot of thimerosal from their vaccines, children who received a little thimerosal from vaccines, and children who received no thimerosal to determine if any of these groups had a higher incidence of autism. To do this, the CDC is using the Vaccine Safety Data Link, which contains information from three large HMOs around the country. They hope to have the results in two years. For a comprehensive discussion about thimerosal in vaccines, see FDA’s Website and click on vaccines.
