Thimerosal in Vaccines

Although it was never actually linked to any real side effects, thimerosal (mercury) was removed from almost all childhood vaccines in 1999.

Thimerosal, a preservative, only remained in flu vaccines for a few years, but thimerosal free flu vaccines have been available since 2003.

Although most anti-vaccine groups have moved on to other conspiracy theories to scare parents, some still falsley claim that vaccines continue to be made with thimerosal and that thimerosal is dangerous.
