Is the flu vaccine preservative harmful?
There is no scientific data to support the concerns that some have voiced about the preservative thimerosal. There is no direct cause and effect data from scientific studies that link autism or other health problems to the thimerosal. The minuscule amount of mercury in the preservative's compound ingredients is no more than would be obtained through a meal of fish.However, there may be some manufacturers who will be developing single doses of vaccine that will not contain the thimerosal, which may be available to those who have this concern. The larger 10cc vials will have to have the preservative added, but single dose vials and single dose pre-loaded syringes may be an option for some. Discuss this with your health care professional in advance of presenting for the vaccination if you have these concerns.
