Standing with Public Health: Our Commitment to Vaccine Science
At Acton Medical, we support the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the recent statement affirming that vaccine research is safe, reliable, and essential for protecting our communities. Our commitment remains grounded in science, patient safety, and clear public health communication.
DPH Commissioner rebukes misleading assertions about vaccines and autism:
“Boston — Vaccines do not cause autism, and there is no link between childhood vaccines and autism. This has been proven repeatedly through decades of rigorous, high-quality research involving millions of children worldwide. The evidence is clear, consistent, and overwhelming.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) rejects the assertion posted Nov. 19, 2025 on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website which suggests that the statement “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based or that studies have failed to rule out a connection between childhood vaccines and autism. Such claims are factually incorrect and deliberately misleading. They contradict the global scientific consensus and undermine public confidence in vaccines. Vaccines are one of the most effective and life-saving interventions in the history of medicine and public health.”
