I was in the process of reading a paper on reactions following the administration of the MMR vaccine that appears this morning in the PloS One journal (and considering blogging on it), when luckily I saw that Helen Branswell of the Canadian Press has already covered the story.
The paper can be read at:
Adverse Events following 12 and 18 Month Vaccinations: a Population-Based, Self-Controlled Case Series Analysis
Kumanan Wilson, Steven Hawken, Jeffrey C. Kwong, Shelley Deeks, Natasha S. Crowcroft, Carl Van Walraven, Beth K. Potter, Pranesh Chakraborty, Jennifer Keelan, Michael Pluscauskas, Doug Manuel
Helen’s article appears this morning on the Global News website, and so I’m going to do the smart thing and quickly step aside and let one of the best science writers in the business explain the findings.
