1EVIDENCE OF IMMUNISATION SAFETYVaccination is the best method to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases likemumps, measles and whooping cough and serious illness. Through vaccination, parents not onlyprovide their children a healthy future, but also protect the community from spread of infectiousdiseases (Bärnighausen et al. 2014). However, many parents refuse to get their childrenimmunised, as they fear of disease before immunisation. The parents believe that vaccination isnot beneficial for their children and without that, they are healthier as compared to vaccinatedchildren (Harmsen et al. 2013). While working as a registered nurse, it is my role to promoteimmunisation for children like MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) or other vaccinations.Therefore, in the following section, I will provide information that immunisations are safe forchildren based on current evidence so that parents are able to make right decisions for theirchildren.

It is important to change the keywords that can help meto get satisfactory articles. Moreover, the databases need to be selected again from the list andconduct the searches so that appropriate literature is found. I also have to consider the researchquestion ensuring that it is not too narrow or broad. I will read the abstracts of the articlescarefully so that it can save my time.

3EVIDENCE OF IMMUNISATION SAFETYSearch Strategy “Vaccines” “autism” keywords are used tosearch papers in the databases like CINAHL,Web Search. Moreover, Boolean operators like‘AND’ and ‘OR’ is used. For this paper,articles published after the year 2012 to 2014,full-text articles published in English wereconsidered. Out of 6 articles, this article waschosen that fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Inclusion/exclusion criteriaA meta-analysis was performed whereevidence was gathered from cohort and case-control studies in databases on the topic ofautism and vaccines in PubMed, MEDLINE,Google Scholar, and EMBASE up to April2014. IssueIn the current public health, there is an ongoingdebate that there is a possibility ofdevelopment of autism due to childhoodvaccination. It has emerged as a serious publichealth issue where parents are not willing toget their children immunized. MMR vaccinehas been considered to be the major cause ofautism development and there is distrustamong the parents and caregivers thatchildhood vaccination is a causal factor forautism. Therefore, in the modern day society,there is a decision to opt out MMR vaccinefrom vaccination schedules as it concernsdevelopment of autism. Study setting A meta-analysis was performed forquantitative assessment of available data fromresearch conducted in various countriesregarding autism development and childhoodvaccination. PRISMA was conducted for meta-analysis and review of literature. Main findings The cohort studies and meta-analysis of fivestudies showed no evidence that there was nolink between childhood vaccination andsubsequent risk for autism development. Fourof the five studies included in the study showedthat there was no link between autism andvaccine. As there is no link, it is advisable thatMMR vaccine should be included in thecurrent immunisation practices. The studyrevealed that autism development ismultifactorial that involves genetics and braininflammation that is caused by environmental
