Vaccinations

Was just reading your archived item on vaccinations - and since I’m pregnant this grabbed my attention - as many things do these days. I just wondered, I know that there is a flu vaccine that comes mercury/thimerosal free (specifically recomended for pregnancy by many doctors) - have they done this for other childhood vaccines yet? If not, why?

I think you are talking about this column by Cecil: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/070608.html

Accordingly, I’ve moved this thread to Comments on Cecil’s Columns.

You can rest easy, as almost all vaccines are mercury free. See this table: http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/thi-table.htm
