Boticaria García visits Zapeando to talk about measles. Children receive the vaccine against this disease at 12 months of age, as part of the so-called triple viral vaccine that also includes rubella and mumps. This vaccination is repeated at three or four years of age.
As for the symptoms of this vaccine, they are very mild effects that disappear in a few days. Among the most common are fever or a slight rash. But many people decide not to vaccinate their children because they believe that this vaccine can cause autism in children.
The pharmacist says that this hoax is related to autism because “many signs of autism appear within a year, just after administering this vaccine.” As Boticaria explains, “correlation does not imply causation.” The pharmaceutical company also emphasizes that “the benefits outweigh the risks with vaccines” and, in the specific case of autism, “there is no evidence that it is a side effect.”
