I got a call from one of my local legislator's office. As you probably have

heard, in my

county, we passed a law saying vaccines for pregnant women and children under 3

must

not have any thimerosal. Well, someone is trying to change the law.

The Health Dept. is claiming that having T-free vaccines will increase

non-compliance

because it will require the patient to get two shots at two different visits.

The staffer had two questions:

Does getting T-free vaccines double the number of visits?

Which vaccines right now have trace amounts of thimerosal?

Please respond asap. I have never heard of this argument before. But, they are

trying to

get around the law. Well, actually, they want to change it. Also, the Health

Dept. is

claiming it will cost them $100,000 to order new, T-free shots. Which makes no

sense

because the season is almost over for flu shots and they have plently of time to

order

shots for next year.

Thanks for any feedback.
