Immunization uptake in younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Parental concerns persist that immunization increases the risk of autism spectrum disorder, resulting in the potential for reduced uptake by parents of younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder ("younger sibs").
OBJECTIVE: To compare immunization uptake by parents for their younger child relative to their older child with autism spectrum disorder ("proband") and controls.
