I don't generally reply to these posts (anymore) because it usually is counterproductive. I studied this subject myself recently because of my child getting his vaccinations.
They offer vaccinations without thimerosal.
Notice the study was done in Japan The definition alone sends red flags to me.
Thimerosal: A mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's. No harmful effects were reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor local reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. There was specifically no evidence that thimerosal increases the risk of developing autism or any other behavior disorder. However, in 1999 it was agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure. Today, all routinely recommended pediatric vaccines in the US contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts.
I guess I may be overly cautions when it concerns my family; but no one in my family will be receiving the H1N1 vaccine, as it has thimerosal in it.
