Exhibit 001 ยท Consensus report
The Childhood Immunization Schedule and Safety
No studies have compared the differences in health outcomes that some stakeholders questioned between entirely unimmunized populations of children and fully immunized children.
Found that no study had examined the cumulative effect of the entire childhood schedule or compared fully unvaccinated children. Recommended using existing data systems such as the Vaccine Safety Datalink for that comparison, and judged a new randomized trial of the schedule unethical.
