Background. Previous studies on vaccination and childhood leukaemia generated inconsistent results.

Methods. In the Northern California Childhood Leukaemia Study, a case-control study with incident cases and matched birth certificate controls, detailed written vaccination records were collected. A total of 323 cases aged 0-14 years at diagnosis and 409 controls were included in this analysis. All vaccinations were censored on the reference date (date of diagnosis for cases and the corresponding date for matched controls). Conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted, adjusting for potential confounding factors. A primary variable of interest is the number of administrations (doses) of various types of vaccines.

Results. Vaccinations against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, and rubella were not associated with the risk of leukaemia. The odds ratio for each dose of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine was 0,81 (95% CI 0,68-0,96). Compared with children who received two or fewer doses of Hib vaccine, those who received three or more doses had a significantly reduced risk of childhood leukaemia (odds ratio = 0,55, 95% confidence interval 0,32-0,94). The number of doses of hepatitis B vaccine received was not associated with leukaemia risk.

Conclusions. Hib vaccination is associated with a reduced risk of childhood leukaemia. Future studies with detailed exposure assessment and large sample sizes are needed to further address the role of vaccinations in the etiology of childhood leukaemia.

в кратце:
много терминов, но смысл таков:

вакцинация и детская лейкемия
Тезис. Ранние исследования вакцинации и детской лейкемии привели к непостоянным результатам
Метод. Исследование детской лейкемии в северной Калифорнии. Исследовали 232 случая детей в возрасте 0-14 лет и изучая реакции изменяя дозу разных вакцин.
Результат:Вакцинация против дифтерии,коклюша,столбняка, полиомелита,краснухи, свинки и кори не повышали риск заболевания лейкемией. У детей , которые были привиты 3 и более раза от менингита риск лейкемии понижался в соотношении с 0,81 до 0,55.Прививки от гепатита В никак не влияли на риск лейкемии.
Вывод: Прививание от менингита снижает риск заболевания лейкемией y детей.

Лейкемию врачи, занимающиеся этим заболеванием, называют "бешенством иммунной системы." И, конечно, встряски иммунной системы прививками никак не связаны с ростом этого заболевания среди детей.
Блажен, кто верует.
