Methods for addressing "innocent bystanders" when evaluating safety of concomitant vaccines.
The need to develop methods for studying the safety of childhood immunization schedules has been recognized by the Institute of Medicine and Department of Health and Human Services. The recommended childhood immunization schedule includes multiple vaccines in a visit. A key concern is safety of concomitant (same day) versus separate day vaccination. This paper addressed a methodological challenge for observational studies using a self-controlled design to investigate the safety of concomitant vaccination.
