Full study is available [publichealthpolicyjournal.com]. From the abstract:

Vaccinations required for school attendance have increased nearly threefold since the 1950s, now targeting 17 infectious diseases. However, the impact of the expanded schedule on children’s overall health remains uncertain. Preliminary studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children have reported that the vaccinated are significantly more likely than the unvaccinated to be diagnosed with bacterial infections, allergies, and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The objective of this study was to determine the association between vaccination and NDDs in 9-year-old children enrolled in the Medicaid program. The specific aims were to test the hypothesis that: 1) vaccination is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other NDDs; 2) preterm birth coupled with vaccination increases the odds of NDDs compared to preterm birth without vaccination; and 3) increasing numbers of vaccinations are associated with increased risks of ASD.

From the conclusion:

The results of this study add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that vaccination may be associated with significantly increased odds of various medical conditions, including NDDs. The evidence accumulated to date suggests that vaccination can precipitate unintended adverse outcomes and that cumulative exposure to vaccines, especially in preterm infants, may be associated with adverse neurological outcomes. New vaccines continue to be added to the federally recommended childhood vaccination schedule on the assumption that they will have no effect on health other than protection against the targeted pathogens. However, the findings of this study suggest that routine vaccination may be associated with NDDs appearing in early childhood. These results signal an urgent need for research to identify biological mechanisms and potential causal relationships be-tween individual vaccines, or combinations of vaccines, and genetic, epigenetic, environmental and other biologic risk factors associated with NDDs. In the meantime, planned additions to the schedule should be delayed until research to determine the safety of its impact on children’s overall health is completed.
