Some Vaccines Tied to Lower Kids' Leukemia Risk, Baylor College of Medicine Study
(Reuters Health) - Kids who have had certain vaccines might be less likely to develop cancer, especially one type of leukemia, suggests a new study. The findings, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, showed that kids born in counties where most children had been vaccinated for hepatitis B had about 20 percent lower odds of all types of childhood cancers than those born in counties where fewer were vaccinated.
