National Health Service and the CDC publication on MMR vaccine say that there is no evidence of a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism.The National Health Service (NHS) published a report on 5 February 2008 which it said was based on the biggest review conducted to date by analysing the blood from 250 children. It was concluded that the MMR vaccine could not be responsible, and there is no evidence for a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
