According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and numerous medical societies, there is no confirmed evidence that the hepatitis B vaccine causes: autism, autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic illness, Guillain-Barre' syndrome, multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, rheumatoid arthritis, seizures, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or transverse myelitis.
