New Study Examines Mercury in Vaccines

The presence of thimerosol has once again raised concerns whether there are risks posed to children when the tiny amount of mercury contained in thimerosol is included in a vaccine. In a recent issue of the Journal of Pediatrics, however, a team of scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health reported findings that should alleviate those concerns.

Pichichero, MD, Director of the Rochester General Research Institute, Rochester General Hospital, Rochester NY evaluated levels of mercury in the blood of the smallest children.
