Ask The Doctor: Do Immunizations Really Cause Autism?

shot0929.jpg

The doctor is in! The PIX Morning News' Dr. Steve Salvatore is here to answer your questions:

My husband has the sickle cell trait. I do not have the trait or the disease. I want to know if it is at all possible for my baby to inherit the trait?
Arla

I am a new parent and my mother is driving me crazy about immunizations. She says they often cause autism. Is this true? My son is 2-months-old.
Rob, Mastic, Long Island

Have a question? E-mail Dr. Steve at askthedoctor@tribune.com.
