OK...so you know how they say they'e taken Mercury out of vaccines? Well, why do they ask you if you are allergic to it when they give you one?
Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound (an organomercurial). Since the 1930s, it has been widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines, to help prevent potentially life threatening contamination with harmful microbes. The documented antimicrobial properties of thimerosal contribute to the safe use of vaccines in multi-dose vials, and the ability to package certain vaccines, such as those for seasonal and pandemic influenza, in multi-dose vials helps facilitate immunization campaigns in the United States and globally that save lives.
Check the labels of the vaccines your kids get. This one had it in there, with no other options available.
