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 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.

Will the pneumonia vaccine stop you from contracting?

The pneumonia vaccine significantly reduces the risk of contracting certain types of pneumonia caused by specific bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, it does not provide complete immunity, and there are other causes of pneumonia, such as viral infections, that the vaccine does not protect against. Therefore, while the vaccine can lower the likelihood and severity of pneumonia, it does not guarantee that you won't contract the disease.
