The theory behind the vaccine is that it is made up of weakened viruses but that form antibodies, which in turn build up the immune system that will fight the introduction of any pathogen the vaccine is intended to prevent.

Does the H1N1 vaccine contain Mercury?
It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.

What effect does the vaccine have on the body?
A vaccine contains the pathogen ( a foreign body which causes diseases/illnesses) which the virus is designed to provide protection for ie: a flu vaccine will contain a flu virus, measles has the measles virus etc... - but they have been treated so they are in effect dead and so will cause no symptoms, your body can only recognise a pathogen, it does not know that it is dead and can not harm you,so your body produces antibodies ( cells that fight off and remove pathogens from the body) to fight this vaccine, the antibodies remain in the body forever (unless you have an autoimmune/immunodeficiency illness) so when you come into contact with say the flu your body already has the antibodies and you don't get sick because your body removes the pathogen before it gets chance to take hold.
