Drugs.com Lists "Autism" as Known Adverse Reaction to DTaP Vaccine Tripedia

In Drugs.com's "A to Z Drug Facts" section the entry on Diphtheria / Tetanus Toxoids / Acellular Pertussis Vaccine contains the following Central Nervous System Adverse reactions for Sanofi Pasteur's Tripedia:

"Tripedia
Drowsiness (29%); irritability (25%); anorexia (10%); fussiness (6%); autism, convulsion, encephalopathy, grand mal convulsion, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence (postmarketing)."

Hats off to Drugs.com for actually providing informed consent to consumers. To my knowledge they are the first to do it.
