Background: Previous studies demonstrated clusters of cases of IDDM occurring 24 to 48 months after immu- nization with the hemophilus, pertussis and combined measles mumps rubella vaccines. Data was analyzed to determine if similar clustering of cases of IDDM occurred after immunization with the hepatitis B vaccine. Methods: Data on the inci- dence of IDDM from hepatitis B immunized and unimmunized cohorts of children was analyzed for the presence of clus- ters occurring after hepatitis B…

This is the first epidemiologic study to evaluate the possibility that timing of vaccination is related to risk of clinical diabetes in children, and the results are generally in agreement with previous studies in not finding any increased risks.

Incidence Data of Childhood-Onset Type I Diabetes in France During 1988–1997: The Case for a Shift Toward Younger Age at Onset

The rise in incidence of type I diabetes in France was of the same magnitude as observed in the rest of Europe over 10 y, and a specific pattern was observed in children under 5 y of age, contrasting with stable rates over 15 y.

The timing of immunization affects the development of diabetes in rodents.

Animal toxicology studies indicate that the effect of vaccines on human insulin dependent diabetes needs to be examined and the timing and content of human vaccines can affect the development of diabetes.
