A little over 2000 children were included in the study, and over 30% of them were completely unvaccinated.

For example, vaccinated families may be more likely to seek out medical care when problems arise, not necessarily because they are more likely to develop problems in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Do we know if there are actual differences in the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children?
