H1N1 vaccination

There is mercury in most vaccines you know, even the first ones a baby get.

Not true, Infanrix and Rotarix are mercury free.

Infanrix does have trace of thimerosal (source : FDA). It is very little hence they got the right to call it mercury-free but there is trace of it still.

Rotarix does not have any thimerosal or aluminium tough. But it is given orally so it is slightly different than injected vaccines.

The Infanrix vaccine administered in the U.S. is not the same as the vaccine administered in the EU (Infanrix IPV HIB). Also, prior to 2001 Infanrix manufactured for the US had traces of thimerosal, but that is no longer the case.

In France, most people are not bothering.

We both got it at a local pharmacy today. Seemed to be a slow day for them, nobody in line when we got there.

Hi,

my 7 year old will not take the vaccine. I just think this vaccine has too much mercury in it and that is a health risk in itself.

Make sure you don't eat any tuna then. (I dread to think how much Baltic herring has)

Aren't all Baltic fish too high in PCBs to eat, anyway?
