Based on the stated ingredients, some do and some do not.

I personally see no evidence that thimerosal is going to

be banned any time real soon. The media continues to have

a field day with publicizing studies in such a way to

downplay any possible harm as " paranoia " and overstate

any possible conclusion that there is " no link " between

injections of mercury and damage.

There has never been any sort of BAN on the use of

thimerosal in vaccines. APPARENTLY the manufacturers

were ASKED to stop using it in certain vaccines.

But it is not " illegal " or in violation of any code.

good wishes,

Moria

Most doses of the influenza vaccine have thimerosal. One manufacturer,

in only single dose vials, has thimerosal-free. The single dose vials

are more expensive, so most doctors don't order them.

The diphtheria-tetanus and tetanus toxoid vaccines for children over 6

and for adults have thimerosal.

Some of the specialized vaccines like for rabies have thimerosal.

Some of the regularly scheduled infant vaccines (eg, DTaP) have a

" trace " of mercury, 3 mcg or less.

The Hepatitis B vaccine for adults still has thimerosal.

The key is to read the product insert.

The manufacturers say that the product inserts for some of the routine

infant vaccines still show they contain thimerosal because the inserts

haven't been updated. Another possibility is that the mfrs export some

of these vaccines and they want to be covered for the exported versions.

It is difficult for a mfr to sell a formulation in a developing country

that has not been approved or accepted in their home country. The mfrs

feel like they need thimerosal for developing country exports because

developing countries can't afford the more costly single dose vials.

Thus the mfrs and health officials are so concerned that developed

countries don't declare thimerosal a harmful substance. I'm only

repeating their rationale. I certainly don't agree with it. As Jeff

Bradstreet has observed from his work in Indonesia, it is the developing

world children who stand to be most harmed by thimerosal, due to their

higher rate of poor nutritional status, the greater likelihood that they

will receive all their vaccines at once, and the pervasive environmental

toxins that surround them.

Does anyone know if it is possible to take an actual vaccine vial,

and have the contents tested to see if it contains mercury? I would

think that with all the " autism docs " who have access to ordering

vaccines, that this would be do-able.

That's probably a good assumption but not quite true. The only flu

shots that are proported to have thimerosal in them are the FluMist

intranasal spray vax. However, there is no guarantee that something is

thimerosal free as some lots sit on the shelf and some vax are

manufactured with thimerosal and then stripped of it prior to

formulation.

we have been looking at all of them, calling companies and evaluating them on

another board and not ONE was found to be with out. even one that was being

advertised as thermosil free when you read the fine print on the paper inside

STILL have it listed in the ingredients and the manufacture won't guarantee it

to be free of it

Actually, All flu shots contain 25 mcgs....Flumist has it in the " trace

amount " ...whatever that may mean.

Fluzone by Aventis in SOME single dose vials does not contain

thimerosal, unless an unreported trace. You need to read the label to

make sure it has less than 0.5 mcg. Flumist also does not contain

thimerosal but it is not an injection and has lots of other problems. I

guess anything could have anything in it and the only way to know for

sure is to test it yourself, if you don't want to take the mfr's word

for it.
