The withdrawal of a nearly 12-year-old study connecting a vaccine to autism made vaccination supporters hopeful that concerns of parents can be put to rest. But the debate has not yet received a shore about whether there will be a rise in vaccination taking people or will the number remain the same.

According to the most recent numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 92% of U. S. children 19-35 months old were vaccinated with the MMR vaccine in 2008.

After on Tuesday, Lancet, a British Medical journal withdrew the controversial paper that contained the study (1998) by Dr. Wakefield who linked MMR vaccine to Autism, British medical authorities are re-considering whether to cancel Wakefield's license after concluding that the report included false information.

Wood County Health Department Director Sue Kunferman said, "The report is cited regularly by patients visiting county facilities, and that the retraction is obviously a great thing for public health. I remain skeptical whether it will be enough to change the minds of people already convinced there is a link to autism".
