Mercury Free Vaccines Still Have Mercury In Them

Excipients are substances used in the production of vaccines which are not actual added ingredients in the vaccine.

These excipients, including mercury, remain in trace amounts in the vaccine.

There is NO safe level of mercury or it's derivative, thimerosal.

Currently, according to the CDC, the following vaccines which are marketed as mercury free, actually do have mercury in them (less than 3mcgs per vaccine, but still dangerous to human health).

DTaP (Tripedia)

DTaP/HIB (TriHIBit)

DT (Sanofi)

Hep B (Engerix-B)

Hep A/Hep B (Twinrix)

Influenza (Fluarix, Flulaval, Fluvirin and Fluzone brands)

Japanese Encephalitis (JE-Vax)

Meningococcal (Menomune)

DT (Decavac)

DT (Massachusetts)


There will be additional vaccines not on this list which are available in the UK which also contain trace amounts of thimerosal and are marketed as 'thimerosal free'.

If you are considering vaccination, go to your local pharmacy and ask for the manufacturer's data sheet for the vaccines your child may have. Then telephone the manufacturer and ask them to email you a list of vaccine excipients.

They have done this when I asked. That way you will know if your child's vaccine is really mercury free or not.
