Hillary, this study that is supposed to make parents feel more comfortable vaccinating only looks at previous studies on single vaccines. There is no existing study that looks at the vaccines given in combination w/ one another or the effects of the vaccine schedule in its entirety. So, while my son had a severe reaction following the MMR, I will never know if it was because his immune system was compromised by receiving a completely unnessary Hep B vaccine hours after birth, or receiving the MMR together with the unnessary chicken pox vax (which with the MMR means he recieved 4 live viruses at once) and the Hep A vax. And there are no studies out there that prove these things together are without negative consequence.
