In 2004, when Valentino Bocca was 15 months old, he was given the MMR vaccine. Immediately after the shot, he began showing signs of serious discomfort. The Bocca family took the case to court and judges determined that the vaccine caused his autism. The Bocca family was awarded 174,000 euro after the Italian Health Ministry conceded the MMR vaccine caused autism in their nine-year-old son Valentino. Harris writes that, "After the ruling, Italian lawyers began examining around 100 similar cases which they believe could lead to more families pursuing court cases."
