Analyzing the claim that vaccines particularly MMR causes autism, it can be argued that there is limited information to justify this idea. On one side of the debate, there are those concerned parents who seek to argue that vaccines cause autism among their children. Similarly, this remains to be supported by a study in London during 1998 that argued the connection between vaccines and autism (Institute of Medicine, p.1). Though there was little connection made in this study concerning the two variables, it raised the attention among parents who sought to remain hesitant in the administration of these.

On the other hand, medical authorities argued that there are no established claims relating vaccines with autism. With limited evidence to point these two together, its administration remains to be safe among children especially in establishing the ability to boost their immune system (Mauro, p.1). At the same time, numerous studies have sought to establish the connection because of the complexity of autism. Similarly, since each childs reaction to vaccines remains to be varied, establishing connection to this process remains questionable and difficult to decipher (Institute of Medicine, p.2).

Given these realities, it is then essential for medical professionals to establish appropriate communication to parents. Here, it does not revolve around convincing parents to engage in such action or not. Rather, allow a collaborative responsibility in facilitating the proper dosage and elements that children need (Mauro, p.2). It takes into account the value of establishing proper avenues to induce more accountability to the practice and seeks to further research in determining the validity of the claim that vaccines do cause autism.
