In the second year of life, the incident rate ratio (IRR) for seizures after receipt of the first measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) dose at 12 to 15 months was 2.65 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.99\u20133.55); the IRR after an MMR dose at 16 to 23 months was 6.53 (95% CI 3.15\u201313.53). The IRR for seizures after receipt of the first measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV) dose at 12 to 15 months was 4.95 (95% CI 3.68\u20136.66); the IRR after an MMRV dose at 16 to 23 months was 9.80 (95% CI 4.35 \u201322.06).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There is no increased risk of postvaccination seizure in infants regardless of timing of vaccination. In year 2, delaying MMR vaccine past 15 months of age results in a higher risk of seizures. The strength of the association is doubled with MMRV vaccine. These findings suggest that on-time vaccination is as safe with regard to seizures as delayed vaccination in the first year of life, and that delayed vaccination in the second year of life is associated with more postvaccination seizures than on-time vaccination.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2013-3429","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,20]],"date-time":"2014-05-20T03:56:05Z","timestamp":1400558165000},"page":"e1492-e1499","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Timely Versus Delayed Early Childhood Vaccination and Seizures"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"133","author":[{"given":"Simon J.","family":"Hambidge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"},{"name":"Department of Community Health Services, Denver Health, Denver, Colorado;"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado;"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophia R.","family":"Newcomer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Komal J.","family":"Narwaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M.","family":"Glanz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew F.","family":"Daley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo Ann","family":"Shoup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Denver, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Rowhani-Rahbar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"P.
