| | Controversies in autism -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
 | | Anecdotal reports from school districts, physicians, and other practitioners strongly support the view that the incidence is rising, and some studies appear to support this as well. | | | Everyone in the medical community agrees that autism is treatable through medical or educational intervention, though there is wide disagreement on what the right kinds of treatment are and what the appropriate objectives should be. | | | Some are reported to have learned speech and/or writing, self-care, and social skills on their own. |

| | (An "active" surveillance system, in contrast, would follow all individuals in a defined population to determine their responses to vaccination.) To encourage reporting of any adverse event suspected of being vaccine-induced, the criteria for reporting to VAERS are non-restrictive. | | | FDA continues to view the anthrax vaccine as safe and effective for individuals at risk of exposure to anthrax. | | | VAERS data also have been used to compare reporting patterns over time and investigate changes in reporting rates that might be due to changes in vaccine practices. |

| | Further, health care providers are encouraged to report other adverse events that in the provider’s professional judgment appear to be unexpected in nature or severity. | | | One analysis found that the “reporting efficiency” of VAERS ranged from 68 percent for vaccine-associated poliomyelitis following administration of oral polio vaccine to <1 percent for rash following administration of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (Rosenthal and Chen, 1995). | | | Additional medical records are sought as needed through VAERS to provide more information on the adverse event and its resolution or longer-term outcome. |

| | The balance between the clear public benefit of vaccination and the importance of parental autonomy in making vaccination decisions can be optimally achieved by focusing on assuring the sincerity of fully informed parents’ beliefs. | | | For example, an infant receives the Prevnar vaccine and three days later goes to the emergency room for a sore throat, a condition that has been passed around at the infant’s child care center. | | | The authors of that study specifically state that one cannot and should not make policy statements on the basis of a single outbreak and that it is important to observe the experience of other future outbreaks. |

| | In analyzing individual reports, we examine the medical information about the event, and obtain more specific information from the reporting doctors whenever necessary. | | | Vaccines protect many people from dangerous illnesses, but vaccines, like drugs, can cause side effects, a small percentage of which may be serious. | | | No prescription drug or biological product, such as a vaccine, is completely free from side effects. |
