A member asked:
Is it true the h1n1 vaccine is banned in some countries? is it also true that it contains thermerisol , beta propiolactone, neomycin sulfate, & more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most of the h1n1 vaccines do not contain thimerosal: http://www.Fda.Gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/vaccines/questionsaboutvaccines/ucm186102.Htm even those that due contain it in such low amounts the risk of the influenza is much greater than any risk of side effects from the thimerosal.
