Appendix A

Summary of Contents of

Vaccines Licensed in the U.S.

In addition to identifying specific substances that contraindicate certain

vaccines (shown under the category " Allergies " on the Symptom or Condition

chart), the ACIP also makes the more general statement that a " serious allergic

reaction [e.g., anaphylaxis] to a vaccine component " is a contraindication.

The following table summarizes excipients (i.e., inert substances added as a

vehicle) contained in vaccines licensed in the United States. While these

substances, except as noted above, are not specified by the ACIP as

contraindications to vaccination, providers should be aware of substances

contained in vaccines should they encounter a patient with a known anaphylactic

allergy. Vaccine Contains Anthrax (BioThrax) Aluminum hydroxide,

Ok, so the governement says the trace amounts have no biological

effect. If the larger amounts had no biological effect as they

claim, then why put this statement here? This really pisses me off.

Thanks Dr. King. I know there is no safe level of Thimerosal. What I

was upset about was that the government was telling us these trace

amounts of vaccines caused no biological effects, while saying the

Mercury in higher amounts had " no evidence of harm. " If the higher

levels of mercury had no evidence of harm, why make the effort to

say the smaller amounts have no biological effects?
