I doubt it.Vaccines Cause of Some SIDs?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1511439/
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10443507"Immunisation does not increase the risk of SIDS and may even lower the risk."
"The decrease in SIDS deaths after the change in immunisation schedules was greatest in the 4-6-month age range. While DPT immunisation might prevent some unexplained infant deaths due to asymptomatic whooping cough, these data indicate that immunisation with DPT also induces antibodies cross-reactive with pyrogenic staphylococcal toxins implicated in many cases of SIDS. Passive immunisation of infants who have low levels of these antibodies might reduce further the numbers of these infant deaths."
Perhaps ascertaining the cause of death isn't always as simple as you'd like it to be. However, researchers have uncovered factors that are associated with SIDS. Immunisation isn't one of them.Wow. Another "we don't know." How could the medical community possibly NOT know what caused the deaths of thousands of infants each year.

You'll note that the research comes from New Zealand, France and the UK. It's not just the CDC. Researchers around the world are finding the same results."...low birth-weight (6.53 [2.29, 18.9]), multiple birth (5.1 [1.76, 15.13]), no breastfeeding (1.77 [1.1, 2.85]), prone sleeping position (9.8 [5, 8, 18, 9]), soft mattress (3.26 [1.69, 6.29]), recent illness (3.44 [1.84, 6.41]) and parental smoking (1.74 [1.2, 2.96]) were confirmed as risk factors in early SIDS."
