Uof M researchers link asthma, early vaccines

[kitty1]

CHILDREN who have their first routine vaccination delayed by more than four months cut their risk of asthma in half, a University of Manitoba researcher has found.
Anita Kozyrskyj, an asthma researcher in the U of M faculty of pharmacy, studied the immunization and health records of 14,000 children born in Manitoba in 1995.

Kozyrskyj found nearly 14 per cent of the children who received their first shot of the diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine at two months of age developed asthma -- compared to only 5.9 per cent of children who were vaccinated more than four months after the scheduled date.

Manitoba recommends vaccinating children at two months, four months, six months and 18 months of age for diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus

The article does stress that the benefits of immunizations outweigh the risks, but the timing could make a big difference in the results.
I wonder if they did comparable studies with children suffering from Autism and ADHD if there could be similar results. Would the children who get earlier vaccines have more incidence of that.

1. The autism / vaccine hypothesis

has been thoroughly debunked over the past several years. This one, however, is a new one on me.
