Does pneumonia vaccine contain mercury?

Most pneumonia vaccines, including the pneumococcal vaccines, do not contain mercury. Some vaccines historically contained thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, but many vaccines have been reformulated to eliminate this ingredient. Current formulations of pneumonia vaccines are considered safe and do not pose mercury-related risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific vaccine ingredient information.


Does tetanus toxoid contain thimerosal?

Yes, Tetanus Toxoid does contain Thimerosal (mercury), in most vaccines. BUT, there are several tetanus vaccines that are free of mercury. Infanrix, Daptacel, ADACEL and Boostrix have no mercury in them. Tripedia is manufactured with thimerosal that is gradually diluted out of the final product. Some older ones still contain up to 25mcg/0.5ml of mercury.

Does 2010 flu vaccine have thimerosal?

The flu vaccines approved for use in the US for the 2010-2011 flu season may contain thimerosal (used as a preservative), however, some do not and the amount in the ones that do is reduced to a very scant amount through a secondary purification process. The amount that is in a dose from the multi-dose vials is less mercury than you would get in a single meal of fish. The nasal mist forms of the vaccines contain no preservatives. In the 2009 flu season when the H1N1 flu vaccine was available in single dose vials and syringes, the thimerosal dose was insignificant or eliminated totally, leaving at most, ≤ 1 mcg mercury per 0.5-mL dose. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multidose vials contains 25 mcg mercury, which is as mentioned above, less than a single meal of fish contains. Nasal spray forms of the vaccine contain no preservatives, therefore no mercury or thimerosal. In the UK and other countries outside the US, this may be different since the vaccines there typically do contain thimerosal as a preservative. But again, the amount is not considered significant in the general population.
